Bond graph example: An enzyme-catalyzed reaction and Michaelis-Menten kinetics
===============================================================================
Consider the enzymatic reaction shown below, which is often associated with Michaelis-Menten (MM) kinetics.
:math:`q_c^1` is a substrate that binds reversibly to an enzyme :math:`q_c^3` to form the complex :math:`q_c^4`, which breaks down to regenerate the enzyme and yield a product :math:`q_c^2`.
In conventional MM kinetics this last step is treated as irreversible, since :math:`A_2^f >> A_2^r`.

An enzyme (:math:`q_c^3`)-catalyzed reaction (a), and its bond graph representation (b).
Flux balance is ensured for each of the four species at the 0:nodes, and energy balance at the 1:nodes ensures the correct stoichiometry.
The **Views Available** menu to the right provides various options to explore this model here in the Physiome Model Repository.
Of particular interest is the *Launch with OpenCOR* menu item, which will load the simulation experiment shown below directly into the `OpenCOR`_ desktop application.
