Unfortunately KINSIM has serious problems which are described in detail
in ...
@article { Kuzm9660,
author = "P. Kuzmic",
title = "Program DYNAFIT for the analysis of
enzyme kinetic data: Application to
HIV proteinase",
journal = "Anal. Biochem.",
volume = "235",
pages = "260--273",
year = "1996" }
That article shows that KINSIM often gives you completely wrong results
(values of rate constants "off" by many orders of magnitude). The
program DYNAFIT was developed in order to do things on which KINSIM
fails.
The most recent publication describing the use of DYNAFIT, currently in
print in Analytical Biochemistry, is available online from
http://www.biokin.com/papers/
In January and February 1998, DYNAFIT was cited in the following
publications:
1. Katz et al. (1998) Nature 391(6667), 608-19.
2. Baugh et al. (1998) J.Biol.Chem. 273(8), 4378-86.
3. Lugue et al. (1998) Proteins 30(1), 74-85.
DYNAFIT has been downloaded by 1,400 researchers since August 1997.
