DynaFit: A Software Tool for Nonlinear Regression of Biochemical Kinetics and Binding Data
Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
DynaFit is a software program designed for nonlinear least-squares regression analysis of chemical kinetic, enzyme kinetic, and ligand-receptor binding data. It can process both initial reaction velocities (e.g., inhibitor concentration vs. velocity) and reaction progress curves (e.g., time vs. absorbance). The key advantage of DynaFit is its ability to characterize biochemical reacting systems using symbolic notation, allowing users to model and simulate both kinetic and thermodynamic data, including multiple simultaneous equilibria.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe main purpose of the program DynaFit is to perform nonlinear least-squares regression of chemical kinetic, enzyme kinetic, or ligand-receptor binding data.
The experimental data can be either initial reaction velocities in dependence on the concentration of varied species (e.g., inhibitor concentration vs. velocity), or the reaction progress curves (e.g., time vs. absorbance).
The main advantage in using the program DynaFit is in the ability to characterize the (bio)chemical reacting system in terms of symbolic notation.
