What is competitive Inhibition?
In competitive inhibition, the substrate and inhibitor cannot bind to the enzyme at the same time, as shown in the figure on the right. 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 be 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 Initial Enzyme Concentration given Rate Constant and Maximum Rate?
Initial Enzyme Concentration given Rate Constant and Maximum Rate calculator uses Initial Enzyme Concentration = Maximum Rate/Final Rate Constant to calculate the Initial Enzyme Concentration, The Initial enzyme concentration given rate constant and maximum rate formula is defined as the ratio of the maximum rate of the system to the rate constant of the reaction converting enzyme-substrate intermediate to the product. Initial Enzyme Concentration is denoted by [E0] symbol.
How to calculate Initial Enzyme Concentration given Rate Constant and Maximum Rate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Initial Enzyme Concentration given Rate Constant and Maximum Rate, enter Maximum Rate (Vmax) & Final Rate Constant (k2) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Initial Enzyme Concentration given Rate Constant and Maximum Rate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.001739 = 40000/23.
