## Reaction Velocity of an Enzymatic Reaction

The Puromycin data frame has 23 rows and 3 columns of the reaction velocity versus substrate concentration in an enzymatic reaction involving untreated cells or cells treated with Puromycin.

Puromycin

### Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

conc

a numeric vector of substrate concentrations (ppm)

rate

a numeric vector of instantaneous reaction rates (counts/min/min)

state

a factor with levels treated untreated

### Details

Data on the velocity of an enzymatic reaction were obtained by Treloar (1974). The number of counts per minute of radioactive product from the reaction was measured as a function of substrate concentration in parts per million (ppm) and from these counts the initial rate (or velocity) of the reaction was calculated (counts/min/min). The experiment was conducted once with the enzyme treated with Puromycin, and once with the enzyme untreated.

### Examples

require(stats); require(graphics)

plot(rate ~ conc, data = Puromycin, las = 1,
xlab = "Substrate concentration (ppm)",
ylab = "Reaction velocity (counts/min/min)",
pch = as.integer(Puromycin$state), col = as.integer(Puromycin$state),
main = "Puromycin data and fitted Michaelis-Menten curves")
## simplest form of fitting the Michaelis-Menten model to these data
fm1 <- nls(rate ~ Vm * conc/(K + conc), data = Puromycin,
subset = state == "treated",
start = c(Vm = 200, K = 0.05))
fm2 <- nls(rate ~ Vm * conc/(K + conc), data = Puromycin,
subset = state == "untreated",
start = c(Vm = 160, K = 0.05))
summary(fm1)
summary(fm2)
## add fitted lines to the plot
conc <- seq(0, 1.2, length.out = 101)
lines(conc, predict(fm1, list(conc = conc)), lty = 1, col = 1)
lines(conc, predict(fm2, list(conc = conc)), lty = 2, col = 2)
legend(0.8, 120, levels(Puromycin\$state),
col = 1:2, lty = 1:2, pch = 1:2)

## using partial linearity
fm3 <- nls(rate ~ conc/(K + conc), data = Puromycin,
subset = state == "treated", start = c(K = 0.05),
algorithm = "plinear")
