  • Title: A microcomputer method for designing optimal experiments for estimating enzyme kinetic parameters.
    Author: Canela EI.
    Journal: Int J Biomed Comput; 1985 May; 16(3-4):257-66. PubMed ID: 3839211.
    Abstract:
    A computer program, written in BASIC, for designing optimal experiments with the aim of evaluating estimates of the parameters for any enzyme kinetic model is given. This computer program can be run on any microcomputer with less than 32 Kbytes of random access memory. The program uses the termed D-optimization design criterion, which minimizes the determinant of the variance-covariance matrix. The user only supplies the rate equation, the maximum and minimum concentrations of substrates and inhibitors, the weighting pattern, and the best possible values of the parameters. The computer supplies the optimal substrate and inhibitor concentrations (one for each parameter), for estimating the parameter values, and the determinant of the variance-covariance matrix. Likewise, the microcomputer supplies the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of information and redundancy matrices, the sensitivity and the global redundancy.
