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 Michaelis Constant for Competitive Inhibition of Enzyme Catalysis?
Michaelis Constant for Competitive Inhibition of Enzyme Catalysis calculator uses Michaelis Constant = (((Final Rate Constant*Initial Enzyme Concentration*Substrate Concentration)/Initial Reaction Rate)-Substrate Concentration)/(1+(Inhibitor Concentration/Enzyme Inhibitor Dissociation Constant)) to calculate the Michaelis Constant, The Michaelis constant 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 can then be used to determine values such as Vmax, initial velocity, and Km. Michaelis Constant is denoted by KM symbol.
