A kinetic study of immobilized lipase catalysing the synthesis of isoamyl acetate by transesterification in n-hexane

TLDR
Experimental observations clearly indicate that the substrates as well as the product (ethanol) act as dead-end inhibitors and a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism with competitive inhibition by substrates and products is proposed that predicts the experimental observation satisfactorily.
