Enzyme kinetics: A note on negative reaction constants in Lineweaver-Burk plots
Sharmistha Dhatt, Kamal Bhattacharyya
Reaction constants in traditional Michaelis-Menten type enzyme kinetics are most often determined through a linear Lineweaver-Burk plot. While such a graphical plot is sometimes go…
How can we distinguish positive cooperativity from auto-catalysis in enzyme kinetics?
Sharmistha Dhatt, Kinshuk Banerjee, Kamal Bhattacharyya
Different graphical plots involving the catalytic rate with the (initial) substrate concentration exist in the enzyme kinetics literature to estimate the reaction constants. But, n…
Open chemical reaction networks, steady-state loads and Braess-like paradox
Kinshuk Banerjee, Kamal Bhattacharyya
Open chemical reaction systems involve matter-exchange with the surroundings. As a result, species can accumulate inside a system during the course of the reaction. We study the ro…
Engine efficiency at maximum power, entropy production and equilibrium thermodynamics
Kamal Bhattacharyya
The Carnot engine sets an upper limit to the efficiency of a practical heat engine. An arbitrary irreversible engine is sometimes believed to behave closely as the Curzon-Ahlborn e…
States with identical steady dissipation rate: Role of kinetic constants in enzyme catalysis
Kinshuk Banerjee, Kamal Bhattacharyya
A non-equilibrium steady state is characterized by a non-zero steady dissipation rate. Chemical reaction systems under suitable conditions may generate such states. We propose here…
Does an irreversible chemical cycle support equilibrium?
Kinshuk Banerjee, Kamal Bhattacharyya
The impossibility of attaining equilibrium for cyclic chemical reaction networks with irreversible steps is apparently due to a divergent entropy production rate. A deeper reason s…
