Inhibition Flashcards
What are enzyme inhibitors
What is competitive inhibition
What is the pathway of competitive inhibition
What is the equation for the initial velocity for an uninhibited reaction
What is the equation for the dissociation constant for the inhibitor
Derive the equation for the Michael’s menten equation which describes the inhibitor
What is the Michaelis menten equation which describes the inhibitor
What is Vmax.app and Km.app
What does a larger value of alpha mean for Vmax
Draw Michaelis - menten plot for competitive inhibition and recall the information you can obtain from it
Draw line weaver-burk plot for competitive inhibition and recall the information you can obtain from it
What is uncompetitive inhibition
What does alkaline phosphatase do and how does it work
A serine residue in the active site of Alkaline phosphotase acts as a nucleophile, attacking the phosphorus atom in the phosphate ester bond. This action leads to the formation of a covalent phospho-serine intermediate and the release of the alcohol product.
What is the reaction pathway for uncompetitive inhibition
What is the effect of a high concentration of [S] on Vmax with uncompetitive inhibition reaction
