1. (10 pt) Consider the following biochemical reactions that occur in an aqueous solution:
S+E ES ES 2 P+E
k₁
k-1
where E is a free enzyme that catalyses substrate S to produce product P.
(1)
a. (2 pt) Write the material balances for species S. E, ES, and P in a well-stirred batch
fermenter.
b. (2 pt) Denoting the time-dependent species concentrations as cs, CE, CES and cp, show
that the total enzyme concentration is conserved:
CE(t)+CES(t)=CE(0) + CES (0) = Eo
c. (4 pt) Assume that k₁ »k-1,k2 such that Eo remains small. Show that with this
assumption, the overall reaction SP has an effective rate constant r defined by
Rp=r=
μες
1+ Kcs'
Rs = -r
μ
where and K depend on k₁, k-1, k2 and Eo. For full credit, you must find the expressions
for u, K in terms of ki, k-1, k2, Eo.
d. (2 pt) Solve numerically the full (part a) and reduced (part c) models to find CE(t), CES(t),
cs(t), cp(t) for the following parameters (units: mole, liter, hour):
CE (0) = 1, CES(0) = 0, cs(0) = 50, cp(0) = 0 k₁ =5, k11, k₂ = 10
Submit plots comparing concentrations vs. time for the full and reduced models.
