155 5 Establishing a peroxisomal β-oxidation computational kinetic model to understand the effects of amino-acid restriction is the reaction catalyzed by catalase, which is modelled as irreversible Michaelis-Menten, because of its extremely high equilibrium constant (Keq). In the case of CROT and CRAT, the reaction is described in the direction of the formation of acyl-CoA (reverse reaction), as the Vmax in the literature was measured in this direction. The rates of all the enzymes are given in µmol ·min-1 ·mg peroxisomal Protein-1.
