Michaelis-Menten Equation E + S ES E + P v ° = K m : Michaelis constant = (k-1 + k2) / k1 k1 K-1 k2 V max [S] K m + [S]
Michaelis-Menten Kinetics
Zero and First Order Reactions
Lineweaver-Burk Plot = + 1 v°v° KmKm V max [S] 1 V max
Inhibition of Enzyme Activity Inhibitor: The velocity of the reaction Reversible or irreversible Competitive or noncompetitive
Competitive Inhibition -1 Inhibitors: Structural similarity to S Bind to S-binding site (compete with S) ES or EI complexes [S] overcomes the inhibition K m But, no effect on V max
Competitive Inhibition -2
Statin Drugs, e.g., Simvastatin (Zocor) Competitive Inhibition -3
Noncompetitive Inhibition -1 Inhibitors: No structural similarity to S Bind to different (allosteric) site ES or EI or ESI complexes [S] cannot overcome the inhibition V max But, no effect on K m
Noncompetitive Inhibition -2
Noncompetitive Inhibition -3
Noncompetitive Inhibition -4 Lead and Ferrochelatase Insecticides and actylcholinesterase Covalent and irreversible
Therapeutic Potential of Enzyme Inhibition β-Lactam antibiotics, e.g., Penicillin Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, e.g., Captopril Statin drugs as antihyperlipidemic
