title: A new graphical rule for rate laws of enzyme reactions with branched pathways.
abstract: A new graphical rule is presented for deriving the rate equations of enzyme reactions. The new rule has the following advantages: (i) it is very effective in simplifying the calculations for complex mechanisms, especially for those with branched pathways; (ii) a significant and intuitive correlation between the rule and the mechanism is established through the product-releasing cycle and product-combining cycle.
