1. Explain the difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibition. I am having a hard time understanding the difference between the two. Could someone please explain the difference between the two?
2. Could someone also give an example of one drug that acts as an enzyme inhibitor and explain its mechanism of action.
1. Imagine a lock (enzyme), whose keyhole is tampered with some dirt (inhibitor), so that the genuine key cannot fit in it. That is competitive inhibition for you - an inhibitor competing with the substrate (reactant) for the same active site. If the inhibitor binds to the active site, it blocks the binding of the substrate.
Imagine the same lock, banged with a hammer from the outside (not necessarily at the keyhole area), so that the lock is deformed and cannot function. That is non-competitive inhibition for you. The inhibitor does not compete for the active site, but binds at some other place in the enzyme, different from the active site, and brings some conformational change to it, so that it can no longer function.
2. The best example is penicillin. The structure of this molecule resembles to the transition state (the transient state of the substrate just after enzyme-substrate complex formation, and just before the product formation) of the peptide bond formation between (D-alanine)-(D-alanine) - a constituent of the cell wall. So, penicillin is able to bind to the enzyme DD-transpeptidase that synthesizes (D-alanine)-(D-alanine) at the active site and blocks cell wall synthesis.

Please help with this question, I am having a hard time understanding. Need a clear diagram to grasp the idea. Thank you! 3. Two wires lie perpendicular to the plane of the paper, and ass through the paper in th directions shown. Point P is equidistant from the two wires Construct a vector diagram showing the direction of the resultant magnetic field at point P due to currents in these two wires. Explain your reasoning. a) b) If the currents...
Break it down for me. I am having a hard time understanding this concept with vectors ーに! 6t Let H be the set of all vectors of the form | 5t | Find a vector v n R3 such that H = Span() Why does this show that H is a subspace of R3? H Span v for v
I am having a hard time understanding this. Could you help me? As the manager of the external audit team, you realize that the EAM writes only material invoices to the audit file for the accounts receivable confirmation process. You are immediately concerned that the accounts receivable account my be substantially overstated this year and for the prior years in which this EAM was used. Required: Explain why you are concerned since all “material” invoices are candidates for confirmation by...

1. Write two different theories for the enzyme reaction mechanism. Explain the difference(s) between them. 2. Explain the two different mechanisms of reversible enzyme inhibition.
I am having trouble understanding how the value for k3 is found in this problem. I understand the rest of the problem. If someone could explain the part to me instead of just copying and pasting the solution that would be great. Three springs and a mass are attached to a rigid, weightless bar PQ as shown in Fig. Find the natural frequency of vibration of the system. k2 ki
