Suchproblemsalsoarise in the formulation ofsubstrateandproductmaterialbalances forenzymes immobilizedwithinparticles [1,2], in the descriptionofsubstrate transport intomicrobialcells [3–5], inmembranetransport, in thetransfer ofoxygentorespiringtissue [6,7],andintheanalysisofanyartificialkidneysystem[8]. To impose the functionality of somemolecules in a cell, amathematicalmodel of suchmeta- bolic systems must be constructed and simulated. Most of the dynamical systems can be approximatedbyvarious types ofdifferential and integral equations involving finite number ofvariablesandparameters.Thus, the futurebehaviorof thesystemcanbepredicted ifmodel kineticsparameters and initial statesof thevariables areavailable. Inparticular, ordinaryand partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs) are popular in modeling of the metabolic pathwaysorenzymekinetics. Releasing enzyme-substrate reactions under single-molecule kinetics was reported by Shlomi et al.

Due to the difficulties in solving nonlinear differential equations in enzyme kinetics, some recent advanced analytical and numerical simulation techniques are used to solve the prob- lems in chemical kinetics. Thus, in this review, all analytical andnumericalworks in enzyme kineticsare summarized. 2.Reactiondiffusionsystems Reaction diffusion system is a mathematical model based on how the concentration of sub- stances/products isdisseminatedoverspacechangesunder the influenceofdiffusionandalocal Advanced Chemical Kinetics22
