Cyclic enzyme system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A cyclic enzyme system is a theoretical system of two enzymes sharing a single substrate or cofactor, also referred to as a biochemical switching device.[1] It has been used as a biochemical implementation of a simple computational device, acting as a chemical diode.[2]
