This is a user-friendly and comprehensive treatise on enzyme kinetics - indispensable for biochemists, biologists, medical scientists, and chemists working with enzymes, from advanced students to experts in academia and industry. Theory and practice are well-balanced, the relation to the biological system is always emphasized. Theoretical aspects are presented in a way which is also comprehensible for the beginner. An extensive methodological part provides the expert with valuable support in planning and performing laboratory experiments.
Contains a CD-ROM with EKI-3, the elaborate and easy-to-use version of the enzyme kinetics practical course.
Summary: A competent treatment of enzyme kinetics

This is an English translation of a book that has achieved considerable success in its original version, having reached its third edition in German. It is a good, solid account with many merits, and a welcome feature is that it devotes considerable space to experimental methods, around a quarter of the whole book. The arrangement of topics is also somewhat unusual, as the first of the three chapters is devoted to multiple equilibria in proteins rather than with enzyme kinetics as such. Chapter 2, occupying about half of the book, contains the "standard" account of enzyme kinetics. Although none of the mathematics is really demanding, the author makes no concessions, and assumes readers who can cope with the sort of algebra and calculus that the subject needs. For my taste the style is rather heavy, and I suspect that the translator is not a native English-speaker -- or else has tried too hard to preserve the style of the original.
