The conditions for the validity of the standard quasi-steady-state approximation in the Michaelis-Menten mechanism in a closed reaction vessel have been well studied, but much less so the conditions for the validity of this approximation for the system with substrate inflow. We analyze quasi-steady-state scenarios for the open system attributable to singular perturbations, as well as less restrictive conditions. For both settings we obtain distinguished invariant manifolds and time scale estimates, and we highlight the special role of singular perturbation parameters in higher order approximations of slow manifolds. We close the paper with a discussion of distinguished invariant manifolds in the global phase portrait.

Voltage gated potassium channels can be composed of either four identical, or different, pore-forming protein subunits. While the voltage gated channels with identical subunits have been extensively studied both physiologically and mathematically, those with multiple subunit types, termed heteromeric channels, have not been. Here we construct, and explore the predictive outputs of, mechanistic models for heteromeric voltage gated potassium channels that possess either N-type or C-type inactivation kinetics.

Electrocatalysts which can operate for several years are required to produce hydrogen and commodity chemicals in an environmentally friendly manner. However, designing materials with long operational lifetimes is challenging, due to the lack of a conceptual framework to predict catalytic lifetimes quantitatively. Here, we report a microkinetic equation which quantifies the lifetime of an electrocatalyst undergoing dissolution.

If a quantum system interacts with the environment, then the Hamiltonian acquires a correction known as the Lamb-shift term. There are two other corrections to the Hamiltonian, related to the stationary state. Namely, the stationary state is to first approximation a Gibbs state with respect to original Hamiltonian.

We derive approximate expressions for pre- and post-steady state regimes of the velocity-substrate-inhibitor spaces of the Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetic scheme with fully and partial competitive inhibition. Our refinement over the currently available standard quasi steady state approximation (sQSSA) seems to be valid over wide range of enzyme to substrate and enzyme to inhibitor concentration ratios. Further, we show that the enzyme-inhibitor-substrate system can exhibit temporally well-separated two different steady states with respect to both enzyme-substrate and enzyme-inhibitor complexes under certain conditions.

The Michaelis-Menten (MM) rate law has been a fundamental tool in describing enzyme-catalyzed reactions for over a century. When substrates and enzymes are homogeneously distributed, the validity of the MM rate law can be easily assessed based on relative concentrations: the substrate is in large excess over the enzyme-substrate complex. However, the applicability of this conventional criterion remains unclear when species exhibit spatial heterogeneity, a prevailing scenario in biological systems.
