Easy Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics.
Description
Serves as a platform for published fluorometric enzyme assay protocols. 'ezmmek' calibrates, calculates, and plots enzyme activities as they relate to the transformation of synthetic substrates. At present, 'ezmmek' implements two common protocols found in the literature, and is modular to accommodate additional protocols. Here, these protocols are referred to as the In-Sample Calibration (Hoppe, 1983; <doi:10.3354/meps011299>) and In-Buffer Calibration (German et al., 2011; <doi:10.1016/j.soilbio.2011.03.017>). protocols. By containing multiple protocols, 'ezmmek' aims to stimulate discussion about how to best optimize fluorometric enzyme assays. A standardized approach would make studies more comparable and reproducible.
