Last Lecture
we examined how an enzyme can be characterized kinetically
conducting reactions with fixed concentrations of substrate
This Lecture
we will examine a linear transformation of the M-M plot
use these curves to examine the effects of inhibitors on enzyme activity

Competitive Inhibition
adenosine
Uncompetitive Inhibition
the inhibitor does not bind the active site, but instead
binds the ES, the enzyme-substrate complex, and prevents
the conversion of substrate to product

when enzyme is saturated with substrate then the enzyme is operating as fast
as it can and Vmax = k2[ET] and
Vmax
k2 =
[ET]
= kcat
since the ES complex is trapped by the inhibitor, k2/kcat becomes very low and
Vmax is depressed and cannot be rescued by more substrate.
Noncompetitive Inhibition
here the inhibitor neither binds to the active site
nor binds the Enzyme-Substrate complex but rather
binds to a different site on enzyme.
this is the opposite of competitive inhibition in that
it is the Vmax that is altered (decreased) where as the Km
remains unchanged.
this means that the enzyme still has the same affinity
for the substrate, but the inhibitor negatively affects
the conversion of substrate to product
whenever the Vmax is affected, the kcat parameter will also
be affected since kcat = Vmax/ET
