On the reproducibility of enzyme reactions and kinetic modelling

Because enzyme activity depends very much on the reaction conditions, it is crucial to report all these metadata (see for example the STRENDA Guidelines:https://www.beilstein-strenda-db.org/strenda/public/guidelines.xhtml).

Another challenge in experiments to determine enzyme reaction parameters is the choice of suitable substrate concentrations to enable optimal kinetic fits and the informed choice of a kinetic model.

A Jupyter notebook is given to assist in the choice of substrate concentrations for initial rate experiments and show the impact of noise in the raw data on the linear fit of the initial rates.

To be able to fully judge the quality of experimental reaction parameters, more information is needed on the modelling process:

  1. the linear fits of the raw data used to calculate the initial reaction rates
  2. the fits of the initial reaction rates with the Michaelis-Menten

A Jupyter notebook to automatically provide these data is given. This notebook works with data from https://fairdomhub.org/investigations/464, which is included here again.

Design an Initial Rate Experiment

This study explores how to design an initial rate experiment. It starts with a "zero-round" experiment, which is used to design a "first-round" experiment, which then leads to the design of a "gold-round" experiment.

Use a Jupyter Notebook to design an initital rate experiment

This Jupyter Notebook assists you in the design of initial rate experiments.

For help on installing the classical Jupyter Notebook, see here: https://jupyter.org/install

For documentation about Juypter Notebooks, see here: https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

There are multiple tutorials online that help you to learn how to use a Jupyter notebook.

The notebook is provided as an .ipynb and as a .pdf file.

The plots the script generates with the default values are also given as .png

A simulated bad first-round experiment

Badly chosen substrate concentrations for an intital rate experiment give data that makes it difficult to fit with a kinetic model and judge the quality of the fit.

A simulated good first-round experiment

Well chosen substrate concentrations for an intital rate experiment give data that makes it easy to fit with a kinetic model and judge the quality of the fit and use it as a basis for the final gold-round experiment.

Design an initial rate experiment in four steps

This script aims to help you design high-quality initial rate experiments. It uses the Michaelis-Menten equation to simulate data for an enzyme with unknown enzyme reaction parameters. Four steps are needed:
1. Estimate the enzyme reaction parameters

Input: estimates of Km and vmax

and indicate the enzyme concentration concentration you are planning to use.
