A program has been developed that will produce simulated enzyme kinetic data suitable for inclusion in problem sets for undergraduates. Mechanisms simulated include one‐ and two‐substrate reactions and various types of inhibition. The effects of variation of pH and temperature may be modeled, as may the effects of random errors on the experimental procedure. The graphical output is suitable for use in lecture demonstrations.
