Enzyme Kinetics for Systems Biology

The 2nd edition has recently been published, the 1st edition has therefore been reduced in price by 20%. Enzyme Kinetics for System Biology is geared towards those who need a reference or classroom textbook that describes the various rate laws one can use to build computer models of cellular networks. The book covers commonly addressed topics such as rapid-equilibrium and steady state kinetics, including chapters on inhibitors, activators, cooperatively and allostery. The text book also includes topics more relevant to systems biology; these include chapters on elasticities, generalized rate laws and kinetics laws used to describe gene expression. Exercises are provided in most chapters with a summary of all the major kinetic rate laws in an appendix.

Chapters include:

1. Reaction Kinetics
2. Elasticities
3. Basic Enzyme Kinetics
4. Enzyme Inhibition and Activation
5. Multireactant Rate Laws
6. Cooperativity
7. Allostery
8. Generalized Rate Laws
9. Kinetics of Gene Regulation
10. Basic Thermodynamics
