Use of a windows program for simulation of the progress curves of reactants and intermediates involved in enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

A program that performs simulation of the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions with up to 32 species is described. The program is written in C++ for MS Windows 95/98/NT and uses a simple text file to define the kinetic model. The use of the program is illustrated with some examples. WES is available free of charge on request from the authors (e-mail: fgarcia@iele-ab.uclm.es).
