## Abstract

Based on our experience in kinetic modeling of coupled multiple metabolic pathways we propose a generic rate equation for the dynamical modeling of metabolic kinetics. Its symmetric form makes the kinetic parameters (or functions) easy to relate to values in database and to use in computation. In addition, such form is workable to arbitrary number of substrates and products with different stoichiometry. We explicitly show how to obtain such rate equation exactly for various binding mechanisms. Hence the proposed rate equation is formally rigorous. Various features of such a generic rate equation are discussed. For irreversible reactions, the product inhibition which directly arise from enzymatic reaction is eliminated in a natural way. We also discuss how to include the effects of modifiers and cooperativity.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
