Suppose you have an enzyme that has a K_M value of 10uM for its substrate and a V_max= 7umol-mg^-1min^-1. In the presence of a reversible inhibitor, the K_M value increases to 40uM and the V_max remains the same. What type of inhibitor is this and what is the K_I value of this inhibitor?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans. Given,

Km increase from 10 µM to 40 µM.

V_max remains constant

Reversible inhibition is the characteristic of competitive inhibitor that simultaneously increase KM but leaves Vmax unaffected.

#2. Apparent Km = Km {1 + ([I] / KI)}

Or, Km,app = Km {1 + ([I] / KI)}

Where,

Km,app = 40 µM

Km = 10 µM

[I] = ?

KI = ? to be calculated.

Concentration of inhibitor [I] that leads to increase in Km must be known to get the value of KI.

Put the value of [I] (if you were provided, say in some part of this question) in above reaction to calculate KI.

Suppose an enzyme has Km = 0.1mM and kcat = 10^3 s-1, and you perform an experiment in which [E]tot = 10-7M. Suppose that adding 0.1 µM of an inhibitor results in a Kmeff= 0.5 mM, and has no effect on kcat. Determine the substrate concentation that would be necessary to achieve a reaction velocity v of 5*10^-5Ms-1

You have added an irreversible inhibitor to a sample of enzyme and substrate. At this point, the reaction has stopped completely?

You have added an irreversible inhibitor to a sample of enzyme and substrate. At this point, the reaction has stopped completely. What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme? Removing the irreversible inhibitor should get the reaction working again. Adding more substrate will increase the rate of reaction. Adding more inhibitor should get the reaction up to speed again. The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity.
