Title: A model for stimulation of alcohol dehydrogenase by imidazoleAbstract: Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the liver. Imidazole is a competitive inhibitor that binds to the enzyme in the place of alcohol. Despite the competition between imidazole and alcohol, at certain concentrations the inhibitor can speed up the reaction. Here we construct a model for the activity of the enzyme. We use techniques from singular perturbation theory to reduce the model and...
