Abstract
Based upon the analysis of enzyme-catalyzed reactions occurring in living tissue, a model of thermal injury process is presented in which the fraction of denatured enzyme protein was taken as the indicator of thermal damage degrees. The results from this model describe the dependence of thermal damage on exposure time and temperature elevation.Keywords
