Abstract
Abstract
Molecular and kinetic characterizations of the enzymes that lead to the identification of the biochemical reactions constitute an important area of biochemistry. In kinetic studies, kinetic constants and reaction mechanisms are investigated. These studies may lead to novel drug design. Correct results require a precise study and sufficient knowledge. Here, I try to point out some aspects of the enzyme kinetics studies I noted when I had been assigned as a reviewer for several journals. I hope these suggestions may be helpful to the researchers in their future work.
