Even “simple” enzyme networks can possibly display emergence of properties. These properties can be generated by a drift of the system away from equilibrium conditions. The lack of equilibrium of an enzyme system certainly plays a major importance in defining its function within the living cell.
Keywords: Phenomenological description of an enzyme reaction, Probability of occurrence of an event under non-equilibrium conditions, Drift of a reaction under quasi-equilibrium and non-equilibrium reaction, Perturbation terms, Random binding of substrates to an enzyme, Sequential binding of substrates to an enzyme, Emergent enzyme reactions, Drift from equilibrium, Thermodynamic implications of a drift from quasi-equilibrium.
