Point well taken, however, the bba paper is specifically addressing the segregation of assumed steady state aproximation kinetics which have been tradinionally used to describe enzyme kinetics and their inability to function as descriptors of time course kinetics while it may be more correct to do as you suggest and take divisions of time till their infinitly small this paper shows that the kinetic constants used by equations such as the Michaelis-Menton equation can be directly used to describe time course kinetics when constants which are normalized to the unit of the observation are used. This solves a nighmare of enzyme kinetic equation integration that if your familiar with the work of proffessors like segel is quite exctiting I realize there are time scale problems with this way of modeling but for modeling of systems where constants should conform to the time scale under which they are observed, this way of modeling seems to work. This is of particular interest in undestanding the metabolism of drugs and metabolic compounds, which aside from streamlining the integration of very complex kinetic equations, provides a way of bridging the gap between pseudo steady state kinetic constants and time course kinstics. Whether my work is completely wrong or not, at least I hope it will facilitate discussion and investigation in a field that has been somewhat stagnent for some time.
