Above is a kinetic scheme for an enzyme reaction.
Annotate the above schematic with rate constants (k+1, k-1, k+2, k-2).
Which rate constant is typically neglected in this schematic?
What assumption is required in this situation to obtain the expression kobs from experiments measuring product formation vs time?
In the schematic drawn above the expression for kobs can be simplified. Write out the simplified expression corresponding to the situation drawn above and explain why it is applicable?
