To identify and address two critical yet underappreciated requirements for deriving valid biological information from enzyme kinetic data.
Evaluation of experimental design criteria necessary to preserve true independence among variables and distinguish competing kinetic models.
Review of implicit statistical assumptions embedded in commercial and custom curve-fitting software used for parameter estimation.
Reliable parameter estimation and model discrimination require experimental designs where independent variables are strictly non-confounded.
Uncritical reliance on fitting programs without verifying underlying statistical assumptions risks producing invalid kinetic parameters and erroneous mechanistic conclusions.
