title: Resonant response to temperature modulation for enzymatic dynamics characterization.
abstract: We consider enzymes involved in a three-state Michaelis-Menten kinetics and submitted to well-chosen temperature modulations of small amplitude. From the first-order amplitudes of concentration oscillations, we design a response function that is maximum for targeted values of the chemical relaxation times. This resonant function can be used to screen a large set of enzymes and identify the one governed by the desired kinetics. The method gives access to all the dynamical parameters of the targeted enzyme without resorting to a fit. We show how to estimate the precision of this parameter determination and give some hints for experimental validation.
