Project description:Examining enzyme kinetics is critical for understanding cellular systems and for using enzymes in industry. The Michaelis-Menten equation has been widely used for over a century to estimate the enzyme kinetic parameters from reaction progress curves of substrates, which is known as the progress curve assay. However, this canonical approach works in limited conditions, such as when there is a large excess of substrate over enzyme. Even when this condition is satisfied, the identifiability of parameters is not always guaranteed, and often not verifiable in practice. To overcome such limitations of the canonical approach for the progress curve assay, here we propose a Bayesian approach based on an equation derived with the total quasi-steady-state approximation. In contrast to the canonical approach, estimates obtained with this proposed approach exhibit little bias for any combination of enzyme and substrate concentrations. Importantly, unlike the canonical approach, an optimal experiment to identify parameters with certainty can be easily designed without any prior information. Indeed, with this proposed design, the kinetic parameters of diverse enzymes with disparate catalytic efficiencies, such as chymotrypsin, fumarase, and urease, can be accurately and precisely estimated from a minimal amount of timecourse data. A publicly accessible computational package performing such accurate and efficient Bayesian inference for enzyme kinetics is provided.

Project description:Biochemical transformation kinetics is based on the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes. We developed a robust scheme based on unit productions of enzymes and reactants in cyclic events to comply with mass action law to form enzyme-substrate complexes. The developed formalism supports a successful application of Michaelis-Menten kinetics in all biochemical transformations of single parameters. It is an essential tool to overcome some challenging healthcare and environmental issues. In developing the formalism, we defined the substrate [S]= [Product]3/4 and rate of reaction based on rate and time perspectives. It allowed us to develop two quadratic equations. The first, represents a body entity that gave a useful relationship of enzyme E?=?2S0.33, and the second nutrients/feed, each giving [Enzymes] and [Enzyme-substrate complexes], simulating rate of reaction, [substrate], and their differentials. By combining [Enzymes] and [Enzyme-substrate complexes] values, this quadratic equation derives a Michaelis-Menten hyperbolic function. Interestingly, we can derive the proportionate rate of reaction and [Enzymes] values of the quadratics resulting in another Michaelis-Menten hyperbolic. What is clear from these results is that between these two hyperbolic functions, in-competitive inhibitions exist, indicating metabolic activities and growth in terms of energy levels. We validated these biochemical transformations with examples applicable to day to day life.

Project description:Nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are common in pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic systems. Although their exact solutions cannot generally be determined via algebraic methods, their rapid and accurate solutions are desirable. Thus, numerical methods have a critical role. Inductive Linearization was proposed as a method to solve systems of nonlinear ODEs. It is an iterative approach that converts a nonlinear ODE into a linear time-varying (LTV) ODE, for which a range of standard integration techniques can then be used to solve (e.g., eigenvalue decomposition [EVD]). This study explores the properties of Inductive Linearization when coupled with EVD for integration of the LTV ODE and illustrates how the efficiency of the method can be improved. Improvements were based on three approaches, (1) incorporation of a convergence criterion for the iterative linearization process (for simulation and estimation), (2) creating more efficient step sizes for EVD (for simulation and estimation), and (3) updating the initial conditions of the Inductive Linearization (for estimation). The performance of these improvements were evaluated using single subject stochastic simulation-estimation with an application to a simple pharmacokinetic model with Michaelis-Menten elimination. The reference comparison was a standard non-stiff Runge-Kutta method with variable step size (ode45, MATLAB). Each of the approaches improved the speed of the Inductive Linearization technique without diminishing accuracy which, in this simple case, was faster than ode45 with comparable accuracy in the parameter estimates. The methods described here can easily be implemented in standard software programme such as R or MATLAB. Further work is needed to explore this technique for estimation in a population approach setting.

Project description:The theoretical basis for the direct linear plot [Eisenthal & Cornish-Bowden (1974) Biochem. J. 139, 715-720], a non-parametric statistical method for the analysis of data-fitting the Michaelis-Menten equation, was reinvestigated in order to accommodate additional experimental designs and to provide estimates of precision more directly comparable with those obtained by parametric statistical methods. Methods are given for calculating upper and lower confidence limits for the estimated parameters, for accommodating replicate measurements and for comparing the results of two separate experiments. Factors that influence the proper design of experiments are discussed.

Project description:The aim was to elucidate how steps in drug translocation by a solute carrier transporter impact Michaelis-Menten parameters Km, Ki, and Vmax. The first objective was to derive a model for carrier-mediated substrate translocation and perform sensitivity analysis with regard to the impact of individual microrate constants on Km, Ki, and Vmax. The second objective was to compare underpinning microrate constants between compounds translocated by the same transporter. Equations for Km, Ki, and Vmax were derived from a six-state model involving unidirectional transporter flipping and reconfiguration. This unidirectional model is applicable to co-transporter type solute carriers, like the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) and the proton-coupled peptide cotransporter (PEPT1). Sensitivity analysis identified the microrate constants that impacted Km, Ki, and Vmax. Compound comparison using the six-state model employed regression to identify microrate constant values that can explain observed Km and Vmax values. Results yielded some expected findings, as well as some unanticipated effects of microrate constants on Km, Ki, and Vmax. Km and Ki were found to be equal for inhibitors that are also substrates. Additionally, microrate constant values for certain steps in transporter functioning influenced Km and Vmax to be low or high.

Project description:Many computational models for analyzing and predicting cell physiology rely on in vitro data collected in dilute and controlled buffer solutions. However, this can mislead models because up to 40% of the intracellular volume-depending on the organism, the physiology, and the cellular compartment-is occupied by a dense mixture of proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, RNA, and DNA. These intracellular macromolecules interfere with the interactions of enzymes and their reactants and thus affect the kinetics of biochemical reactions, making in vivo reactions considerably more complex than the in vitro data indicates. In this work, we present a new, to our knowledge, type of kinetics that captures and quantifies the effect of volume exclusion and other spatial phenomena on the kinetics of elementary reactions. We further developed a framework that allows for the efficient parameterization of these kinetics using particle simulations. Our formulation, entitled generalized elementary kinetics, can be used to analyze and predict the effect of intracellular crowding on enzymatic reactions and was herein applied to investigate the influence of crowding on phosphoglycerate mutase in Escherichia coli, which exhibits prototypical reversible Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Current research indicates that many enzymes are reaction limited and not diffusion limited, and our results suggest that the influence of fractal diffusion is minimal for these reaction-limited enzymes. Instead, increased association rates and decreased dissociation rates lead to a strong decrease in the effective maximal velocities Vmax and the effective Michaelis-Menten constants KM under physiologically relevant volume occupancies. Finally, the effects of crowding were explored in the context of a linear pathway, with the finding that crowding can have a redistributing effect on the effective flux responses in the case of twofold enzyme overexpression. We suggest that this framework, in combination with detailed kinetics models, will improve our understanding of enzyme reaction networks under nonideal conditions.

Project description:Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are responsible for the detoxification of harmful aldehydes. Due to the large number of isotypes, the physiological relevance of AKRs cannot be obtained using mRNA or protein quantification, but only through the use of enzymatic assays to demonstrate functionality. Here, we present a fast and simple protocol to determine the important Michaelis-Menten kinetics of AKRs, which includes various aldehyde substrates of interest such as 4-hydroxynonenal, methylglyoxal, and malondialdehyde. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Morgenstern et al. (2017) and Schumacher et al. (2018).

Project description:Nearly 100 years ago Michaelis and Menten published their now classic paper [Michaelis, L., and Menten, M. L. (1913) Die Kinetik der Invertinwirkung. Biochem. Z. 49, 333-369] in which they showed that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate complex predicted by the Michaelis-Menten equation. Because the original text was written in German yet is often quoted by English-speaking authors, we undertook a complete translation of the 1913 publication, which we provide as Supporting Information . Here we introduce the translation, describe the historical context of the work, and show a new analysis of the original data. In doing so, we uncovered several surprises that reveal an interesting glimpse into the early history of enzymology. In particular, our reanalysis of Michaelis and Menten's data using modern computational methods revealed an unanticipated rigor and precision in the original publication and uncovered a sophisticated, comprehensive analysis that has been overlooked in the century since their work was published. Michaelis and Menten not only analyzed initial velocity measurements but also fit their full time course data to the integrated form of the rate equations, including product inhibition, and derived a single global constant to represent all of their data. That constant was not the Michaelis constant, but rather V(max)/K(m), the specificity constant times the enzyme concentration (k(cat)/K(m) × E(0)).

Project description:BackgroundStandard pediatric growth curves cannot be used to impute missing height or weight measurements in individual children. The Michaelis-Menten equation, used for characterizing substrate-enzyme saturation curves, has been shown to model growth in many organisms including nonhuman vertebrates. We investigated whether this equation could be used to interpolate missing growth data in children in the first three years of life and compared this interpolation to several common interpolation methods and pediatric growth models.MethodsWe developed a modified Michaelis-Menten equation and compared expected to actual growth, first in a local birth cohort (N = 97) then in a large, outpatient, pediatric sample (N = 14,695).ResultsThe modified Michaelis-Menten equation showed excellent fit for both infant weight (median RMSE: boys: 0.22 kg [IQR:0.19; 90% < 0.43]; girls: 0.20 kg [IQR:0.17; 90% < 0.39]) and height (median RMSE: boys: 0.93 cm [IQR:0.53; 90% < 1.0]; girls: 0.91 cm [IQR:0.50;90% < 1.0]). Growth data were modeled accurately with as few as four values from routine well-baby visits in year 1 and seven values in years 1-3; birth weight or length was essential for best fit. Interpolation with this equation had comparable (for weight) or lower (for height) mean RMSE compared to the best performing alternative models.ConclusionsA modified Michaelis-Menten equation accurately describes growth in healthy babies aged 0-36 months, allowing interpolation of missing weight and height values in individual longitudinal measurement series. The growth pattern in healthy babies in resource-rich environments mirrors an enzymatic saturation curve.
