There are 6 enzyms involved in the natural process of the enterobactin production:

  • EntA :
  • EntB :
  • EntC :
  • EntD :
  • EntE :
  • EntF :
The production of each one of those enzymes can thus become a rate-limiting-step, when it comes to mass enterobactin production.

For now, we consider each one of these steps as a simple chemical reaction: S → P : E We are using the enzymatic kinetic model of Michaelis-Menten, which divides each reaction into two consecutives steps: E + S ↔ ES → E + P : k1, k-1, k2 The speed of the reaction is calculated as below: v = dP/dt = k2[ES] The steady state approximation gives us: d[ES]/dt = k1[E] [S] – k-1[ES] – k2[ES] = 0 And thus, v = k2k1/(k-1+k2)* [E][S] = Kcat/Km*[E][S] where Km = (k-1+k2)/k1 and Kcat = k2 are classic kinetic parameters. Conclusion: For simple enzymatic reactions (one reagent, one product and one enzyme) with the steady state approximation, we can directly apply the formula above-written.
