Inhibition components

More complex kinetics that does not fit hyperbolic inhibition or activation are also possible. These cases usually involve combinations of activation or inhibition with a second component resulting from two-substrate kinetics, e.g., sigmoidal, biphasic, or substrate inhibition kinetics. An example is activation followed by inhibition. The inhibition component occurs when two substrates in the active site displaces the inhibitor. 

The ovulation-inhibiting component of many oral contraceptive pills is a compound known as ethynyloestradiol, and this compound too is made by an alkynyllithium addition to the female sex hormone... 

Vol. 330, pgs. 1029-1035,1994. (Note This is interesting in that protective benefits of taking vitamin E supplements were not seen while beta carotene may have worsened the situation. The authors concluded that taking just supplements needs to be further evaluated and that possibly these vitamins are not the active cancer-inhibiting components of fruits and vegetables that are observed to protect in observational studies.)... 

The effectiveness of plastic protection means containing volatile Cl depends much on the liberation kinetics of Cl from the polymer matrix. We have already analyzed (see Sect. 1.5) the problem of binding inhibitors within the plastic structure. The delivery velocity of the required amount of Cl to the metal part surface turned out to be a reliable criterion for estimating the efficiency of inhibited plastics. Some plastic grades do not need to take account of the Cl delivery factor if the inhibiting component is located in the most probable place of corrosion. 

There are two basic approaches in the design of catalysts optimization, in order to improve the performance of existing catalysts, and the development of entirely new species. Obviously these two are interrelated in the sense that one enhances the other. General improvement strategies are (i) isolation and study of the active species, (ii) optimization of reaction conditions, (iii) expansion of the reaction surface, and (iv) elimination of inactive or inhibiting components. These are common experimental practical steps in each step, attention must be paid to the enhancement of the dominant factors of a catalyst, such as acidity, basicity, electronic properties, and macroscopic and microscopic geometrical-features. 

Hydrolysis of cellulose have been carried out by two approaches, ie, acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. Concentrated acid was used to dissociate the biomass completely but is not widely used nowadays due to high operation costs, acid recovery, equipment corrosion, and decomposition of product sugars. Diluted acid is a strategy applied in pretreatment, but it also requires proper equipment and can produce growth-inhibiting components, such as furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
