Inhibitors

Cards (5)

  • This is a Lineweaver-Burk plot
  • Non-competitive inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to another site on the enzyme, causing it to become less effective at catalyzing reactions.
  • Competitive inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to the active site, preventing the enzyme from binding to its natural substrate.
  • The formula for reaction speed (with inhibitors) is V0=Vmax([S]/([S]+KM))
  • Vmax= kcat *[E]t

    [E]t = CONCENTRATIE van enzymen
    kcat is katalytische constante
