Assume that for an enzyme immobilized on the surface of a nonporous support material the
external mass transfer resistance for substrate is not negligible as compared to the reaction
rate. The enzyme is subject to substrate inhibition (eq. 3.34).
a. Are multiple states possible? Why or why not?
b. Could the effectiveness factor be greater than one?
