A mathematical description was made of an autocatalytic zymogen activation mechanism involving both intra- and intermolecular routes. The reversible formation of an active intermediary enzyme-zymogen complex was included in the intermolecular activation route, thus allowing a Michaelis-Menten constant to be defined for the activation of the zymogen towards the active enzyme. Time-concentration equations describing the evolution of the species involved in the system were obtained. In addition, we ...[more]
