Abstract
The linearization of the Michaelis-Menten reaction by pseudo-first-order kinetics is revised. A phase-plane analysis allows the derivation of a new condition for its validity that is directly linked to the reaction efficiency, and contrary to widely established knowledge, is independent of the initial enzyme concentration.Mesh:
