The effect of internal diffusion on the overall reaction rate in a biocatalyst having slab geometry containing an immobilized enzyme or cells have been investigated theoretically. Zero-order, first-order and Michaelis-Menten kinetics were studied. The exact solutions for zero-order and first- order...
