Question

An uncompetitive inhibitor interacts with the enzyme•substrate complex to form a ternary
complex (ES•I). This equilibrium reaction can be described as follows:
ES + I ⇌        ESI
Modify the simplified kinetic scheme you drew for E + S ⇌ E + P to include this equilibrium
expression 

Expert Solution

Step 1

Enzyme inhibition is a process by which the activity of an enzyme is altered. Inhibitors are substances that decreases the catalytic activity of an enzyme by altering the interaction between the enzyme & substrate.

Enzyme inhibition can be classified into the following types:

  • Reversible
  • Irreversible

The reversible enzyme inhibition can be categorized into the following types:

  • Competitive
  • Non-Competitive
  • Uncompetitive

Km indicates the Michaelis constant & Vmax (Vm) refers to the maximum velocity attained by the reaction. E refers to the Enzyme, S refers to the substrate, P refers to the product & I refer to the inhibitor.
