In the classic Michaelis-Menten scheme (shown in the "inhibition mechanism schematic" diagram), an enzyme (E) binds to its substrate (S) to form the enzymebsubstrate complex ES. Upon catalysis, this complex breaks down to release product P and free enzyme.:?55? The inhibitor (I) can bind to either E or ES with the dissociation constants Ki or Ki', respectively.:?87? Competitive inhibitors can bind to E, but not to ES. Competitive inhibition increases Km (i.e., the inhibitor interferes with substrate binding), but does not affect Vmax (the inhibitor does not hamper catalysis in ES because it cannot bind to ES).:?102? Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to ES. Uncompetitive inhibition decreases both Km and Vmax. The inhibitor affects substrate binding by increasing the enzyme's affinity for the substrate (decreasing Km) as well as hampering catalysis (decreases Vmax).:?106? Non-competitive inhibitors have identical affinities for E and ES (Ki = Ki'). Non-competitive inhibition does not change Km (i.e., it does not affect substrate binding) but decreases Vmax (i.e., inhibitor binding hampers catalysis).:?97? Mixed-type inhibitors bind to both E and ES, but their affinities for these two forms of the enzyme are different (Ki ? Ki'). Thus, mixed-type inhibitors affect substrate binding (increase or decrease Km) and hamper catalysis in the ES complex (decrease Vmax).:?63b64? When an enzyme has multiple substrates, inhibitors can show different types of inhibition depending on which substrate is considered. This results from the active site containing two different binding sites within the active site, one for each substrate. 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. Traditionally reversible enzyme inhibitors have been classified as competitive, uncompetitive, or non-competitive, according to their effects on Km and Vmax. These three types of inhibition result respectively from the inhibitor binding only to the enzyme E in the absence of substrate S, to the enzymebsubstrate complex ES, or to both. The division of these classes arises from a problem in their derivation and results in the need to use two different binding constants for one binding event. It is further assumed that binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme results in ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #11020 ***********************************************
