Resumen de The Nuts and Bolts of Michaelis−Menten Enzyme Kinetics: Suggestions and Clarifications
Matthew Junker’s recent article describes a useful and effective enzyme kinetics application and analogy in which students simulate enzyme activity by unscrewing nut−bolt “substrate molecules”, thus, converting them into separate nuts and bolts “products”. A number of suggestions and corrections are presented that improve the clarity and accuracy of this classroom activity as an analogy for Michaelis−Menten kinetics.
