SIMENKIN, Module 2

(Dopri method in Numeric.JS)

This module, the enzyme kinetics simulator, is used to make simulations of enzyme-catalysed reactions once the kinetic parameters of the enzyme (Km and ѵmax, but also Ki and the Hill exponent) and the experimental conditions, such as initial concentration of substrate and concentration of inhibitor, are provided.

This application module is provided with four panels:

In all panels, up to three different time courses are shown, for the sake of comparison.

Input data:

Test 3 conditions:
  a b c  
[S]0= mM
ѵmax= mM min⁻¹
Km= mM
[I] = mM
KIE= mM
KIES= mM
nHill =  

It is not possible to study the effect of inhibitor simultaneouesly with Hill coefficients different from 1.

Equations to plot the graphs are based on the work by Prof. Néstor Torres (Universidad de La Laguna, Spain) A simple simulator to teach enzyme kinetics dynamics. Application in a problem-solving exercise. N. Torres and G. Santos (2017) doi:10.1080/23752696.2017.1307693

In this version the solving of differential equations is done with the Numeric Javascript library (www.numericjs.com) which uses the Dormand-Prince RK numeric integration method.
