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 Inhibitor Concentration for Competitive Inhibition of Enzyme Catalysis?
Inhibitor Concentration for Competitive Inhibition of Enzyme Catalysis calculator uses Inhibitor Concentration given IEC = (((((Final Rate Constant*Initial Enzyme Concentration*Substrate Concentration)/Initial Reaction Rate)-Substrate Concentration)/Michaelis Constant)-1)*Enzyme Inhibitor Dissociation Constant to calculate the Inhibitor Concentration given IEC, The Inhibitor concentration for competitive inhibition of enzyme catalysis formula is defined as a plot of the reaction velocity (V0) associated with the concentration [S] of the substrate which can then be used to determine values such as Vmax, initial velocity, and Km. Inhibitor Concentration given IEC is denoted by IIEC symbol.
