Alanine is a non-competitive inhibitor, therefore it binds away from the active site to the substrate in order for it to still be the final product. [6] Another example of non-competitive inhibition is given by glucose-6-phosphate inhibiting hexokinase in the brain. Carbons 2 and 4 on glucose-6-phosphate contain hydroxyl groups that attach ...
With pure noncompetitive inhibition the apparent value of is decreased. This can be seen on the Lineweaver–Burk plot as an increased ordinate intercept with no effect on the abscissa intercept /, as pure noncompetitive inhibition does not effect substrate affinity.
On the other hand, the V max will decrease relative to an uninhibited enzyme. On a Lineweaver-Burk plot, the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor is illustrated by a change in the y-intercept, defined as 1/V max. The x-intercept, defined as −1/K M, will remain the same. In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor will bind to an enzyme at the ...
For example, an inhibitor might compete with substrate A for the first binding site, but be a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to substrate B in the second binding site. [26] Traditionally reversible enzyme inhibitors have been classified as competitive, uncompetitive, or non-competitive, according to their effects on K m and V max. [14]
Uncompetitive inhibition (which Laidler and Bunting preferred to call anti-competitive inhibition, [1] but this term has not been widely adopted) is a type of inhibition in which the apparent values of the Michaelis–Menten parameters and are decreased in the same proportion.
If the inhibitor is different from the substrate, then competitive inhibition will increase Km while Vmax remains the same, and non-competitive will decrease Vmax while Km remains the same. However, under substrate inhibiting effects where two of the same substrate molecules bind to the active sites and inhibitory sites, the reaction rate will ...
In enzyme kinetics, a secondary plot uses the intercept or slope from several Lineweaver–Burk plots to find additional kinetic constants. [1] [2]For example, when a set of v by [S] curves from an enzyme with a ping–pong mechanism (varying substrate A, fixed substrate B) are plotted in a Lineweaver–Burk plot, a set of parallel lines will be produced.
Pure non-competitive inhibition is very rare, being mainly confined to effects of protons and some metal ions. Cleland recognized this, and he redefined noncompetitive to mean mixed . [ 57 ] Some authors have followed him in this respect, but not all, so when reading any publication one needs to check what definition the authors are using.
