For noncompetitive inhibition

Fig. 1. Inhibition of porcine pancreatic a-amylase. Substrates, an inhibitor, and their binding orientations in the active site are shown schematically. The arrows denote the catalytic site in each case, (a) The small substrate, G2PNP [17400-77-0] (3) (b) the large substrate, G OH [13532-61 -1] (4) and (c) the inhibitor, 4-phenyl imidazole (5) and the substrate G2PNP (3) in the binding orientation for noncompetitive inhibition. The binding orientation of G2PNP...

Inhibition. Consider the case of competitive inhibition. Show a family of Lineweaver-Burk lines as [I] increases, including the line for [I] = 0. Construct the plots carefully so as to show how the x- and y-intercepts vary. Do the same for noncompetitive inhibition.

Because noncompetitive inhibitors bind to both the free enzyme and the ES complex, or subsequent species in the reaction pathway, we would expect these molecules to exert a kinetic effect on the E + S —> ES" process, thus effecting the apparent values of both VmdX/KM (influenced by both the K and al, terms) and Vmax (influenced by the aK term). This is reflected in the velocity equation for noncompetitive inhibition ... 

For noncompetitive inhibition, the value of k bs will vary with substrate concentration in different way, depending on the value of a (see Chapter 3). When a = 1, kobs is independent of substrate concentration ... 

These three classes of inhibition can be distinguished by virtue of the effect of variations in inhibitor concentration on the slopes and intercepts of reciprocal plots. For competitive inhibition only the slope varies. For uncompetitive inhibition only the intercept varies, while for noncompetitive inhibition both the slope and the intercept vary. 

Nonetheless, note that such constraints hinge upon detailed knowledge of the functional form of the rate equation. For example, for noncompetitive inhibition, no restriction occurs Both saturation parameters may attain any value with in their assigned interval, independent of the saturation of the other reactant. We thus emphasize that choosing all saturation parameters... 

Compared to enzyme reactions without inhibition we see that both k and are modified here. Thus, for noncompetitive inhibition,... 

The products by cell growth, such as ethyl alcohol and lactic acid, occasionally inhibit cell growth. In such cases, the product is considered to inhibit cell growth in the same way as inhibitors do in enzyme reactions, and the following equation (which is similar to Equation 3.41, for noncompetitive inhibition in enzyme reactions) can be applied ... 

Several variations of the mechanism for noncompetitive inhibition are possible. One case is when the enzyme-inhibitor-substrate complex can be decomposed to produce a product and the enzyme-inhibitor complex. This mechanism can be described by adding the following slow reaction to Eq. (2.49)...

For IC5o determinations, the substrate concentration should be close to the Am for the marker reaction. As discussed previously, this choice of substrate concentration allows an estimate of the A) value because IC50 = 2A) for competitive inhibition and IC50 = A, for noncompetitive inhibition. For A) determinations, a common substrate concentration scheme is Am/3, Am, 3Am, 6Am, and 10Am. Assuming that the Km for the reaction has been accurately determined, this range of substrate concentrations will provide an adequate spread of data on an Eadie-Hofstee plot to readily observe the mechanism of direct inhibition. For some substrates, solubility can become limiting at concentrations >2Am. In such cases, it becomes necessary to choose alternate concentrations so that no fewer than five concentrations are used in a A, determination. The choice of substrate... 

These constants may or may not be equal, but for our purposes we will assume that they are and they can then be designated simply as K,. We can then write the double-reciprocal expression for noncompetitive inhibition as follows ... 

For competitive inhibition with single-step external pathway, eqn 8.65 is directly applicable, except that the inhibitor concentration replaces that of the free ligand. For noncompetitive inhibition by reaction with Xj5 A must be replaced by Djj, the sum of the elements of row j +1 of the Christiansen matrix. Both cases are covered by ... 

Here, Km is the equilibrium constant of the inhibition reaction inh + Xj — S, and index j refers to the cycle member with which the inhibitor reacts (j = 0 for competitive inhibition, and j 0 for noncompetitive inhibition). The extension to external pathways consisting of more than one step is as in eqn 8.67.

The second case are reversible or noncolvalent inhibitors. If an inhibitor binds reversibly at the same site as the substrate, the inhibition is referred to as competitive. In other words for competitive inhibition - inhibitor (I) binds only to E, not to the enzyme substrate complex ES. For noncompetitive inhibition - inhibitor (I) binds either to E and/or to ES. A further type of reversible inhibition, uncompetitive, occurs when the inhibitor binds only to the complex enzyme-substrate ES and not to the free enzyme. This is a very rare case and sometimes is even referred to as a hypothetical case. 

In pure noncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds with equal affinity to the free enzyme and to the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex. In noncompetitive inhibition, the enzyme-inhibitor-substrate complex IES does not react to give product P. A kinetic scheme for noncompetitive inhibition is given in Figure 6.41...

Analysis of eq. (6.91) in Dixon coordinates (reciprocal of rate vs inhibitor concentration) shows for noncompetitive inhibition, diat with an increase in substrate concentration the slope is decreasing. The same is valid for the y- intersept (Figure 6.44).
