Zusammenfassung

The Michaelis-Menten kinetics, which describes transformation of a substrate (S) into a product (P) with the help of enzyme (E) through a complex (C) \ S+Ek_1 .1ex$\,_\stackrelto 10mm \rightarrowfill $C, Ck_-1 .1ex$\,_\stackrelto 10mm \rightarrowfill $S+E, Ck_2 .1ex$\,_\stackrelto 10mm \rightarrowfill $P+E, \ is considered ($k_1,k_-1,k_2$ are rate constant). Kinetic equations for these reactions can be written in the form $$x=-ax(z_0-u)+bu, u=ax(z_0-u)-(b+c)u,$$ equation1 equation $$y=cu, z=z_0-u$$ where $x,y,z$, and $u$ are concentrations of substrate, product, enzyme, and complex ($ak_1, bk_-1, ck_2$). We consider situation, in which $z_0x_0, y_0=0, u_0=0$, where $x_0,y_0,z_0,u_0$ are initial values of concentrations $x,y,z,u$. In dimensionless variables problem of solution of equations (1) is reduced to a singular perturbation problem. In this framework the steady-state approximation in the Michaelis-Menten kinetics can be understand. However, ideas developed by Chapman and Bogolyubov in theory of nonequilibrium processes alow to cast the steady-state theory in very simple form. According to these ideas after a transition period concentration of the complex $u(t)$ is synchronized with concentration of the substrate $x(t)$ equation2 u(t).1ex$\,_\stackrelto 8mm \rightarrowfill t\tau_0$u^(+)(t), x(t).1ex$\,_\stackrelto 8mm \rightarrowfill t\tau_0$x^(+)(t), u^(+)(t)=u(x^(+)), equation where $\tau_0$ is duration of the transition period. In fact, relations (2) is an analog of the Bogolyubov functional hypothesis and lead to closed equation for concentration of the substrate $x^(+)(t)$ and simple equation for asymptotic concentration of the product $y^(+)(t)$ equation3 x^(+)(t)=L(x^(+)(t)), y^(+)(t)=cu(x^(+)) equation at long times $t\tau_0$. Simple calculation gives introduced in (2) and (3) functions $$L(x)=-z_0cxx+k+z_0^2ck(ax+b)xa(x+k)^4+O(z_0 ^3)$$ equationequation $$u(x)=z_0xx+k+z_0^2ckxa(x+k)^4+O(z_0^3)$$ ($k(b+c)/a$ is the Michaelis constant). Evolution equation (3) for $x^(+)(t)$ and $y^(+)(t)$ must be completed by effective initial conditions $x^(+)_0, y^(+)_0$. They can be introduced by a continuation of solution of equations (3) for times $0t \tau_0$. Calculation of the effective initial conditions gives $$x^(+)_0=x_0-z_0(ax_0+b)x_0a(x_0+k)^2+O(z_0^2)$$ equation4equation $$y^(+)_0=-z_0x_0ca(x_0+k)^2+O(z_0^2)$$ This is solution for our model of the Bogolyubov-Grad initial boudary layer problem. A comparison of numerical solution of equations (1) with real initial conditions and equation (3) with effective initial condition gives an excellent agreement.
