Enum: ReactionMechanismEnum

The kinetic rate law (mechanism) used to model how a reaction's rate depends on metabolite concentrations and kinetic parameters. These values align with the mechanism types used by kinetic-modeling tools such as Maud.

  reversible_michaelis_menten:
    text: reversible_michaelis_menten
    description: A reversible (modular) Michaelis-Menten rate law, sensitive to both
      substrate and product concentrations and to thermodynamics.

    text: irreversible_michaelis_menten
    description: An irreversible Michaelis-Menten rate law, treating the reaction
      as effectively one-directional.

    text: mass_action
    description: Elementary mass-action kinetics, where rate is proportional to the
      product of reactant activities.
  drain:
    text: drain
    description: A boundary or exchange pseudo-reaction that supplies or removes a
      metabolite at a fitted rate, rather than a mechanistic enzyme-catalyzed step.
