The steady state velocity equation for a bireactant enzyme in the presence of a partial inhibitor or nonessential activator, M, contains squared substrate concentration and higher-ordered M concentration terms. The equation is too complex to be useful in kinetic analyses. Simplification by the method of Cha (J. Biol. Chem. 243, 820 825 (1968)) eliminates squared substrate concentration terms, but retains higher-ordered terms in [M]. It is shown that if strict equilibrium is assumed between free E, M, and EM and for all but one other M-binding reaction, a velocity equation is obtained for an ordered bireactant enzyme that is first degree in all ligands in the absence of products. The equation is an approximation (because it was derived assuming only one M-binding reaction in the steady state), but it contains five inhibition (or activation) constants associated with M, all of which can be obtained by diagnostic replots and/or curve-fitting procedures. The equation also provides a framework for obtaining limiting constants (V'max, K'ia, K'mA, K'mB) that characterize the enzyme at saturating M. The same approach is applicable to an enzyme that catalyzes a steady state ping pong reaction.
