A study case for the analysis of asymptotic expansions beyond the tQSSA for inhibitory mechanisms in enzyme kinetics

In this paper we study the model of the chemical reaction of fully competitive inhibition and determine the appropriate parameter ∈ (related to the chemical constants of the model), for the application of singular perturbation techniques. We determine the inner and the outer solutions up to the first perturbation order and the uniform expansions. Some numerical results are discussed
