| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| MIXED INHIBITON STATS | LOWER VMAX, KM VAIRIES |
| NONCOMPETITIVE INHIBITION STATS | LOWER VMAX, KM UNCHANGED |
| UNCOMPETITIVE INHIBITION STATS | LOWER VMAX, LOWER KM |
| COMPETITIVE INHIBITION STATS | VMAX UNCHANGED, HIGHER KM |
| How do you know if a compound is competitively inhibited? | if it looks similar to the substrates |
| Km meaning | Substrate concentration [S] at 1/2 Vmax |
| Vmax meaning | maximal reaction rate /velocity of an enzyme catalyzed reaction |
| K cat meaning | maximum number of substrate molecules converted to product per active site per unit of time |
| Specificity constant meaning | ratio of catalytic speed to substrate binding affinity; good for low substrate levels |
| K cat equation | V max/[E] |
| Specificity constant equation | Kcat/Km |
| Specificity constant units | M −1 s −1 |
| Vmax units | mM/sec |
| Km units | mM |
| Kcat units | s −1 |
| What's the difference between noncompetitive and uncompetitive inhibition | Uncompetitive binds to ES only, Noncompetitive binds to E and ES equally |
