Abstract

The boundary value problem in basic enzyme reactions is formulated and approximate expressions for substrate and product concentrations are presented. He’s variational iteration method is used to give approximate and analytical solutions of non-linear reaction equations containing a non-linear term related to enzymatic reaction. The relevant analytical solutions for the substrate, enzyme, substrate-enzyme and product concentration profiles are discussed in terms of dimensionless reaction diffusion parameters K, λ and \({\varepsilon}\).
