Abstract: Thermokinetic model of two-parameter initial rate method for faster enzyme-cat-alyzed reactions has been suggested based on the two-parameter theoretical model of conduc-tion calorimeter.Thermokinetics of xanthine oxidation catalyzed by xanthine oxidase wasstudied using microcalorimetry.This faster enzyme-catalyzed reaction obeyed the Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and at 298.15 Kand pH 7.5, the Michaelis constant(Km) for xanthine was1.04×10-3 mol·L-1, which is in agreement with that given in the literature.
