Title	Role of Diffusion in the Kinetics of Reversible Enzyme-catalyzed Reactions
Author	Attila Szabo, Huan-Xiang Zhou*
Keywords	Diffusion-influenced reaction, Enzyme-catalyzed reaction, Michaelis-Menten kinetics
Abstract	The accurate expression for the steady-state velocity of an irreversible enzyme-catalyzed reaction obtained by Shin and co-workers (J. Chem. Phys. 2001, 115, 1455) is generalized to allow for the rebinding of the product. The amplitude of the power-law (t–1/2) relaxation of the free- and bound-enzyme concentrations to steady-state values is expressed in terms of the steady-state velocity and the intrinsic (chemical) rate constants. This result is conjectured to be exact, even though our expression for the steady-state velocity in terms of microscopic parameters is only approximate.
