392 7. INHIBITION IN MULTIENZYME SYSTEMS 



that the experimental data may be rationally obtained. Only the experi- 

 mental resvdts will demonstrate whether the treatment is correct or point 

 out the modifications that must be made in it. The progress made in single 

 enzyme kinetics, where theory and experiment for the past several dec- 

 ades have gone hand in hand, will be duplicated in these more complex 

 systems. It is hoped that simple mathematical treatments will often in- 

 dicate what crucial experiments are to be done and, particularly, what is 

 to be measured. The techniques required for this will arise in response to 

 the necessity for more accurate characterization of these systems.
