title: Steady-state kinetic approaches to complex biological systems.
abstract: Steady-state kinetic approaches to study the biochemical systems have been extremely useful. In this paper we use this approach to explain the inhibition of electron transport in structurally bound multienzyme systems and in applying the work-energy cost transfer function to living tissues as studied by 31P NMR spectroscopy. We show that in both systems the steady-state approach leads to equations and predictions that are in accordance with the experimental data.
