The plotting of Dixon plot and its slope re-plot (see 5.9.5.9) is a commonly used graphical method for verification of kinetics mechanisms in a particular enzymatic reaction.9 The proposed kinetic mechanism for the system is valid if the experimental data fit the rate equation given by (5.9.4.4). In this attempt, different sets of experimental data for kinetic resolution of racemic ibuprofen ester by immobilised lipase in EMR were fitted into the rate equation of (5.7.5.6). The Dixon plot is presented in Figure 5.22.

In this scheme, EOH is the enzyme, IX is the inhibitor (either a carbamate or an organophosphate). EOH(IX) is analogous to the Michaelis Menton comploc seen with the substrate reaction. EOI is the acyl-enzyme intermediate for carbamates or a phosphoro-enzyme intermediate for the organophosphates. The equilibrium constant for this reaction (K ) is defined as k /k and the phosphorylation or carbamylation constant is defined as k2- In this study 42)y ANTX-A(S) was found to be more specific for AChE than BUChE. The double reciprocal and Dixon plot of the inhibition of electric eel AChE indicated that the toxin is a non-competitive inhibitor decreases, k remains unchanged) (Figure 2). 

If the effect of an inhibitor on an enzyme is to be investigated, the Dixon plot is recommended. To obtain data for the Dixon plot, estimate the reaction rate at constant substrate concentration and vary the inhibitor concentration [I]. At competitive inhibition, all the obtained straight lines coincide at a point with the coordinates X = -Ki, y = 1/Vmax> and at non-competitive inhibition all the straight lines have the same intercept on abscissa at x = -Ki. At... 

Another useful method of data reduction is the Dixon plot, where l/v is plotted against [I], the inhibitor concentration, at a fixed [D]. This allows for the determination of without the need to determine the absolute concentration of [D]—a great advantage in cases in which the substrate is a polynucleotide or a protein, as is often the case in chemotherapy. 

To determine inhibitor constants (K ), repeat step 17 in the presence of one or two different concentrations of inhibitor, [I]. Alternatively, for a Dixon Plot, test a range of inhibitor concentrations at two different substrate concentrations. Then plot 1/v against [I] for each value of [S].

Based on the result from the IC50 determination, determination of additional kinetic parameters such as Ki and the inhibition mode are useful (variation of the substrate concentration e.g. Km/4 1 Km with time). Transformation of the Michaelis-Menten equation are used both for calculation the Ki value as well as for graphical depiction of the type of inhibition (e.g. direct plot ([rate]/[substrate], Dixon plot [l/rate]/[inhibitor], Linewaver-Burk plot [l/rate]/[l/substrate] or Eadie-Hofstee plot [rate]/[rate/substrate]).

Dixon Plots. Another linear method for plotting inhibition data, the Dixon plot, is shown in Fig. 17.11 (74). In this method the initial velocity is measured as a function of inhibitor concentration at two or more fixed substrate concentrations. By plotting Hv against [I] for each substrate concentration, the different types of inhibition can easily be distinguished. Further, in cases of competitive or noncompetitive inhibition, the value of K- may be determined from the x-axis value at which the lines intercept. Overall, the Dixon plot is probably the simplest and most rapid graphical method for obtaining a value. 

The Dixon plot of 1/v versus [1] provides another way of identifying the type of inhibition and of determining Ki. The equation for the plot is obtained by multiplying out the equation for the reciprocal plot and then regrouping terms ... 

The reciprocal equation for noncompetitive inhibition can be rearranged to the equation for the Dixon plot. 

Enzyme inhibition data are often presented as IC50, the concentration of the inhibitor to cause 50 percent inhibition at one chosen substrate concentration Kt, the inhibition constant (dissociation constant from the inhibitor-enzyme complex) determined by enzyme kinetic analysis (e.g., Dixon plot) and /Cin lcl, the time-dependent inhibition constant for mechanism-based inhibitors. IC50 values can be estimated from the study described earlier. A positive inhibition, defined as dose-dependent inhibition, with the inhibited activity lower than 50 percent of that of the negative control, will require further experimentation to define Ki for a better evaluation of in vivo inhibitory potential. Further, a study to determine Klwul may be performed to evaluate if the inhibitor acts via covalent binding to the active site of the enzyme, leading to time-dependent irreversible inhibition. 

Substrate concentration Minimum of two for the Dixon plot three is recommended. 

Kt is determined by Dixon plot, plotting the reciprocal of activity versus inhibitor concentration. The negative of the x-coordinate value corresponding to the intercept of the plots for the low and high substrate concentrations is the Kt. 

Two of the most common plots for determining inhibition constants and the type of inhibition are those as described by Dixon (1953) and Comish-Bowden (1974). The two methods are actually very complementary and can serve as a double check on determinations of the type of inhibition. In addition, they each make up for the inability of the other method to estimate the inhibition constant in all types of inhibition. 

Amylase has been prepared from defatted hawk eye soybean flour. The enzyme-concentration dependence of the initial velocity for the hydrolytic reaction was investigated at pH 5.4 in a range of the enzyme concentrations and it was found that the initial velocity was proportional to the enzyme concentration in this range. The hydrolyses of maltodextrin (DPn = 74.4) and soluble starch catalysed by soybean /3-amylase were investigated in the pH range from 3.0 to 9.1 at 25 C, and and kjnax each substrate were determined at each pH. The pH-rate profile showed a bell-shaped curve, and the pH optimum was at 5.85. From Dixon plots of V and the pAT values were found to be 3.5 and... 

To confirm that the imprinted recognition site was indeed the reactive center, reactions were conducted in the presence of the imprinting template, 28, to determine its ability to inhibit the polymer-catalyzed reaction. A series of aldol reactions were conducted with increasing concentrations of 28. Figure 6 shows a Line weaver-Burk plot (a) and a Dixon plot (b) illustrating the increase in concentration of 28 leads to the decrease in efficiency of the MIP P-17 for the catalysis of chalcone formation. The concentration-dependent inhibition of chalcone production by 28 implies the presence of a specific reaction center in the polymer matrix. 

A popular version of the Dixon plot in Fig. 7 is the Yonetani-Theorell plot, in which the ratios of inhibited and uninhibited reaction rates are plotted against increasing concentrations of one inhibitor, in the presence of a constant concentration of the other. This method was apphed for analysis of the competitive inhibition of hver alcohol dehydrogenase by ADP and o-phenanUiroline (Yonetani Theorell, 1964).

Inhibitor constants (Kj) were determined using Dixon plots. Four different inhibitor concentrations were used for determination of each Ki value. At each inhibitor concentration, activity was determined using three different poly(ADP-ribose) concentrations (each point in duplicate). The best straight line was then determined using linear regression.
