THE ELEMENTS OF RELIABILITY THEORY IN THE MATHEMATIC ANALYSIS OF HALF-LIFETIMES OF ENZYMATIC PROTEINS

A definition of a new molecular-biological category - ''enzymic functi onal system'' is given. The mechanisms of reliability of its functioni ng in vivo were analyzed. The half-lifetime, decay rate constants and the rate of synthesis for a number of enzymic proteins were quantified . The vector of functional activity of the enzymic system is composed of three constituents: a static quantity t(1/2), half-lifetime and two dynamic quantities, K-s and K-d, the rate constants of synthesis and decay. It is K-s and K-d determine the reliability profile of the enzy mic functional system and its quality.
