The effect of hydrogen ions on the steady state multiplicity of substrate-inhibited enzymatic reactions. III. Asymmetrical steady states in enzyme membranes.

The present investigation concentrates on the study of the complex phenomenon of multiplicity in membranes carrying substrate-inhibited, hydrogen ion-sensitive enzyme. The investigation takes into consideration both symmetrical and asymmetrical steady states. The number of steady states (symmetrical and asymmetrical) found in this case is quite large, giving rise to multiple hysteresis loops and multiple "isolas".
