In enzymology, the turnover number (k cat) is defined as the limiting number of chemical conversions of substrate molecules per second that a single active site will execute for a given enzyme concentration [E T] for enzymes with two or more active sites. [1] For enzymes with a single active site, k cat is referred to as the catalytic constant. [2]
On the other hand, the V max will decrease relative to an uninhibited enzyme. On a Lineweaver-Burk plot, the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor is illustrated by a change in the y-intercept, defined as 1/V max. The x-intercept, defined as −1/K M, will remain the same. In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor will bind to an enzyme at the ...
The Monod equation is a mathematical model for the growth of microorganisms. It is named for Jacques Monod (1910–1976, a French biochemist, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1965), who proposed using an equation of this form to relate microbial growth rates in an aqueous environment to the concentration of a limiting nutrient.
In game theory, the one-shot deviation principle (also known as the single-deviation property [1]) is a principle used to determine whether a strategy in a sequential game constitutes a subgame perfect equilibrium [2]. An SPE is a Nash equilibrium where no player has an incentive to deviate in any subgame.
The function f(x, y) = x 2 − y 2 is concave-convex.. Von Neumann's minimax theorem can be generalized to domains that are compact and convex, and to functions that are concave in their first argument and convex in their second argument (known as concave-convex functions).
The relationship between mixed and behavior strategies is the subject of Kuhn's theorem, a behavioral outlook on traditional game-theoretic hypotheses. The result establishes that in any finite extensive-form game with perfect recall, for any player and any mixed strategy, there exists a behavior strategy that, against all profiles of ...
Chemical game theory is an alternative model of game theory that represents and solves problems in strategic interactions, or contested human decision making. Differences with traditional game theory concepts include the use of metaphorical molecules called “knowlecules”, [1] [2] which represent choices and decisions among players in the game.
For a better idea on decision vertices, refer to Figure 1. If the game has perfect information, every information set contains only one member, namely the point actually reached at that stage of the game, since each player knows the exact mix of chance moves and player strategies up to the current point in the game. Otherwise, it is the case ...
