Question

What is the effect of each of the 4 types of inhibitors on the initial rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction? 2.

Answer 1

The enzyme inhibitors namely competitive inhibition Non-competitive inhibitor substrate inhibitor affect the catalyzed property of enzyme competitive inhibition occurs when the substrate and a substance resembling the substrate are both added to the enzyme Non-competitive inhibitors are considered to be the substances which when added to the enzyme after the enzyme in a way that it cannot accept the substrate. substrate inhibition will sometimes occur when excessive amounts of substrate are present Fig. substrate become rate - inhibiting substrate inhibition will additional amounts of substrate added to the reaction mixture after this point actually decreases the reaction rate
