ezmmek - Easy Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics
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.
