michaelis
compet_mich
non_compet_mich

These models describe the evolution of the reaction rate (v) as a function of the concentration of substrate (S) and the concentration of inhibitor (I) for compet_mich and non_compet_mich.

michaelis is the classical Michaelis-Menten model (Dixon, 1979) with two parameters (Km, Vmax) :

v = S/(S+Km)*Vmax

compet_mich is the Michaelis-Menten derived model with three parameters (Km, Vmax, Ki), describing a competitive inhibition :

v = S/(S + Km*(1+I/Ki) ) * Vmax

non_compet_mich is the Michaelis-Menten derived model with three parameters (Km, Vmax, Ki), describing a non-competitive inhibition :

v = S/( (S + Km)*(1+I/Ki) ) * Vmax
