Describes a program which simulates the kinetic behavior of a "typical" enzyme. Program objectives, background to the kinetic model used in the simulation, major program features, typical results obtained, and a note on the availability of the program (written in BASIC for Commodore microcomputer) are included. (JN)

Discusses a simulation on enzyme kinetics based upon the ability of computers to generate random numbers. The program includes: (1) enzyme catalysis in a restricted two-dimensional grid; (2) visual representation of catalysis; and (3) storage and manipulation of data. Suggested applications and conclusions are also discussed. (DH)

Describes an exercise, suitable for use on programmable calculators or microcomputers, to calculate some of the rapidly processing orbits of a mass M near a static black hole star of mass M. (SK)

Discusses principles of a particular approach in teaching elementary kinetics of polymerization. Although the treatment discussed is more difficult for students to grasp, problems may be reduced using a computer program. The program, written in Applesoft Basic, is available from the author together with sample output. (JN)

Describes: Apple stereochemistry program; CNDO/2-INDO mini-computer calculations; direct linear plot procedure for enzyme kinetics calculations; construction of nonlinear Scatchard plots; simulation of mass spectral envelopes of polyisotopic elements; graphics with a dot-matrix printer; MINC computer in the physical chemistry laboratory; hallway…

Describes two kinematics/dynamics programs (Apple II) easily adaptable to other microcomputers. Kept simple, the programs allow teacher/student to control forces acting on a particle by introducing force laws in programs or by using game paddles/joystick. Discusses equations used and provides program listings. (JN)

Reviews software produced by Cross Educational Software to teach college-advanced high school students how to determine forces/torques acting on rigid bodies in static equilibrium. Designed for use with Apple II/II+ (Applesoft), 10 minutes to one hour are required for the five low to moderate interactive tutorial programs. (Author/JN)

Reviews software package for college advanced high school physics. The package, for Apple microcomputers, contains programs instructing students on how to analyze motion of objects under a variety of circumstances. Programs include graphing motion, one-dimensional kinematics, gravity problems, projectile, dynamics (general method), motion on…

Describes a computer program, "Activation Energy," which is designed for use in physical chemistry classes and can be modified for kinetic experiments. Provides suggestions for instruction, sample program listings, and information on the availability of the program package. (ML)

Ten computer simulations for the Apple II are described. Subject areas of programs include: population dynamics, plant competition, enzyme kinetics, evolution and natural selection, genetic mapping, ammonia synthesis, reaction kinetics, wave interference/diffraction, satellite orbits, and particle scattering. (JN)

Describes a program which allows students to identify and characterize several kinetic inhibitory mechanisms. Uses the generic model of reversible inhibition of a monosubstrate enzyme but can be easily modified to run other models such as bisubstrate enzymes. Uses MS-DOS BASIC. (MVL)

Describes 10 computer programs (available from authors), including graphics display of molecular structure, cyclohexane stereo chemistry, calculation of thermodynamics properties of chemical reactions, and others. Also described graphical display of chemical interactive programs using a programmable calculator and discusses distribution of…

Describes the use of a microcomputer program which was written to analyze batch reactor data by the integral method. Discusses how the program is structured and used by students in engineering kinetics. An example problem is included along with the computer's solution. (TW)
