For an enzymatic reaction the rate constants in the assumed mechanism (k1,k_1, etc.)sometimes cannot. When identifiability problems occur, these are obscured by redundancy occurring among the steady-state parameters. This redundancy is only partly revealed by the known Haldane relations. We found th...
