What is competitive Inhibition?
In competitive inhibition, the substrate and inhibitor cannot bind to the enzyme at the same time,this usually results from the inhibitor having an affinity for the active site of an enzyme where the substrate also binds; the substrate and inhibitor compete for access to the enzyme's active site.This type of inhibition can overcome by sufficiently high concentrations of substrate (Vmax remains constant), i.e., by out-competing the inhibitor. However, the apparent Km will increase as it takes a higher concentration of the substrate to reach the Km point, or half the Vmax. Competitive inhibitors are often similar in structure to the real substrate.
How to Calculate Apparent Value of Michaelis Menten Constant in Presence of Competitive Inhibition?
Apparent Value of Michaelis Menten Constant in Presence of Competitive Inhibition calculator uses Apparent Michaelis Constant = (Substrate Concentration*(Maximum Rate-Initial Reaction Rate))/Initial Reaction Rate to calculate the Apparent Michaelis Constant, The Apparent value of Michaelis Menten constant in presence of Competitive inhibition formula is defined as a plot of the reaction velocity (V0) associated with the concentration [S] of the substrate can then be used to determine values such as Vmax, initial velocity, and Km(app). Apparent Michaelis Constant is denoted by Kmapp symbol.
How to calculate Apparent Value of Michaelis Menten Constant in Presence of Competitive Inhibition using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Apparent Value of Michaelis Menten Constant in Presence of Competitive Inhibition, enter Substrate Concentration (S), Maximum Rate (Vmax) & Initial Reaction Rate (V0) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Apparent Value of Michaelis Menten Constant in Presence of Competitive Inhibition calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.131833 = (1500*(40000-450))/450.
