The second-order rate equation has been reduced to a pseudo–first-order rate equation, which makes the treatment to obtain an integrated rate equation much easier. One way to obtain a pseudo-first order reaction is to use a large excess of one reactant (say, [B]≫[A]) so that, as the reaction progresses, only a small fraction of the reactant ...
Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions. In enzyme kinetics, the reaction rate is measured and the effects of varying the conditions of the reaction are investigated. Studying an enzyme's kinetics in this way can reveal the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme, its role in metabolism, how its activity is ...
Langmuir adsorption model. A schematic showing equivalent sites, occupied (blue) and unoccupied (red), clarifying the basic assumptions used in the model. The adsorption sites (heavy dots) are equivalent and can have unit occupancy. Also, the adsorbates are immobile on the surface. The Langmuir adsorption model explains adsorption by assuming ...
In biochemistry, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, named after Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten, is the simplest case of enzyme kinetics, applied to enzyme-catalysed reactions of one substrate and one product. It takes the form of a differential equation describing the reaction rate (rate of formation of product P, with concentration ) to , the ...
Reaction progress kinetic analysis. In chemistry, reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA) is a subset of a broad range of kinetic techniques utilized to determine the rate laws of chemical reactions and to aid in elucidation of reaction mechanisms. While the concepts guiding reaction progress kinetic analysis are not new, the process was ...
In chemical kinetics, the Lindemann mechanism (also called the Lindemann–Christiansen mechanism[1] or the Lindemann–Hinshelwood mechanism[2][3]) is a schematic reaction mechanism for unimolecular reactions. Frederick Lindemann and J. A. Christiansen proposed the concept almost simultaneously in 1921, [4][1] and Cyril Hinshelwood developed ...
In biochemistry and pharmacology, the Hill equation refers to two closely related equations that reflect the binding of ligands to macromolecules, as a function of the ligand concentration. A ligand is "a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose" (ligand definition), and a macromolecule is a very large ...
Sten Lagergren. Sten Yngve Dennis Lagergren (6 May 1876 – 4 April 1922) was a Swedish physical chemist known for his fundamental findings in adsorption kinetics. Lagergrens's 1898 article "Zur Theorie der Sogenannten Adsorption Gelöster Stoffe" [1] (To the theory of the so-called adsorption of dissolved materials) brought him a lasting fame.
