Abstract

Calculation procedure is suggested for flow intensity of substrate toward reaction interface of immobilized enzyme at simultaneous effect of enzymatic reaction and internal diffusion. The approximate model is presented in an analytical form for the basic type of Michaelis-Menten kinetics and for the case of inhibition in excess of substrate.
