Inhibition in enzymatic reactions

Inhibition in micelle-catalyzed reactions cannot be handled as easily as inhibition in enzymatic reactions, because reactants and inhibitors do not form complexes of 1 1 stoichiometry with micelles. As discussed in Chapters 9 and 12, the most promising model for the distribution of solubilizates into micelles is the Poisson distribution, which is employed here. The incorporation of reactants and inhibitors into micelles can be assumed to be independent of each other as long as the amounts incorporated are small and do not change the characteristics of the mother micelle. Then, the denominator of (11.19) remains unchanged. As for the numerator, the MR, micelle containing no inhibitor experiences the same reaction. If we assume that the reaction is complety stopped for micelles incorporating more than j inhibitor molecules, (11.28) is then transformed to...
