Enzyme kinetics graphs and inhibitors Now, what about inhibitors? We discussed two types of inhibitors, competitive and noncompetitive, in the article on enzyme regulation.

This article delves into the specific effects of various enzyme inhibitors on these kinetic graphs and highlights how these visual tools can be used to pinpoint the type of inhibition involved.

Non-competitive inhibition occurs when the inhibitor doesn't/can't bind to the active site, due to charge/shape dissimilarities related to the substrate, but it is still able to bind to the enzyme …

Competitive and non-competitive inhibitors can be told apart by how they affect an enzyme's activity at different substrate concentrations.

We have non-competitive inhibition. They're not competing for the thing, they can both bind to it, whether they can bind isn't dependent on whether the other one is bound, but if the inhibitor is …

There are four different kinds of inhibitors; competitive inhibitors, noncompetitive inhibitors (allosteric inhibitors), irreversible inhibitors, and feedback inhibitors. Competitive inhibitors …

If we look at that on a graph from before you'd see that KM is a substrate concentration specific to our circumstances. Where our rate is at half of its max and the lower our KM, the better our …
