Inhibition patterns

Inhibition of a regulatory enzyme by a feedback inhibitor does not conform to any normal inhibition pattern, and the feedback inhibitor F bears little structural similarity to A, the substrate for the regulatory enzyme. F apparently acts at a binding site distinct from the substrate-binding site. The term allosteric is apt, because F is sterically dissimilar and, moreover, acts at a site other than the site for S. Its effect is called allosteric Inhibition. 

Reaction Mechanism Competitive Inhibitor for Substrate Inhibition Pattern Observed ... 

If more than one substrate participates in an enzymatic reaction, the kinetic effects of an inhibitor can be quite complex. In this case, rules formulated by Cleland (36) are useful in gaining a qualitative picture of the inhibition patterns to be expected of a given mechanism. 

The close association of the two activities (monophenolase and diphenolase) is borne out by the reciprocal competitive inhibition pattern of monophenolic and diphenolic substrates and by coincidence of the various steps in the catalytic cycle.

The above mentioned organic boronic acids were however expected to have approximately the same fast inhibition pattern and stability in liquid detergents as boric acid and again the similarity to the well-known systems was decisive for choosing this technology.

Competitive inhibition pattern N = Noncompetitive inhibition pattern, and U = Uncompetitive inhibition pattern. 

In practice, uncompetitive and mixed inhibition are observed only for enzymes with two or more substrates—say, Sj and S2—and are very important in the experimental analysis of such enzymes. If an inhibitor binds to the site normally occupied by it may act as a competitive inhibitor in experiments in which [SJ is varied. If an inhibitor binds to the site normally occupied by S2, it may act as a mixed or uncompetitive inhibitor of Si. The actual inhibition patterns observed depend on whether the and S2-binding events are ordered or random, and thus the order in which substrates bind and products leave the active site can be determined. Use of one of the reaction products as an inhibitor is often particularly informative. If only one of two reaction products is present, no reverse reaction can take place. However, a product generally binds to some part of the active site, thus serving as an inhibitor. Enzymologists can use elaborate kinetic studies involving different combinations and amounts of products and inhibitors to develop a detailed picture of the mechanism of a bisubstrate reaction. 

Different inhibition patterns occur if I and S bind simultaneously to t enzyme instead of competing for the same binding site (Figure 3.4) ... 

Reversible inhibition occurs rapidly in a system which is near its equilibrium point and its extent is dependent on the concentration of enzyme, inhibitor and substrate. It remains constant over the period when the initial reaction velocity studies are performed. In contrast, irreversible inhibition may increase with time. In simple single-substrate enzyme-catalysed reactions there are three main types of inhibition patterns involving reactions following the Michaelis-Menten equation competitive, uncompetitive and non-competitive inhibition. Competitive inhibition occurs when the inhibitor directly competes with the substrate in forming the enzyme complex. Uncompetitive inhibition involves the interaction of the inhibitor with only the enzyme-substrate complex, while non-competitive inhibition occurs when the inhibitor binds to either the enzyme or the enzyme-substrate complex without affecting the binding of the substrate. The kinetic modifications of the Michaelis-Menten equation associated with the various types of inhibition are shown below. The derivation of these equations is shown in Appendix S.S. 

Figure S.14 shows a plot of such an inhibition pattern. There are few clear-cut examples of non-competitive inhibition of a single-substrate reaction, as might be expected from this special case. Normally the inhibitor constants in Scheme S.AS.3 are different.

The phenolic derivatives indicated in Figure 8.1 are also bound to the same binding niche on PS II as the triazines (Oettmeier, 1992). However, they have a somewhat different inhibition pattern than the classical family of PS II herbicides (e.g., triazines and ureas) and, therefore, were regarded as a separate family with a somewhat different mode of action (Van Rensen et al., 1978 Trebst and Draber, 1986). It is now clear that they just orient somewhat differently in the same binding niche, as discussed below. Although the phenolics are photosynthesis inhibitors, dinoseb and the halogenated benzonitriles also inhibit respiration. 

The coordinated mechanism proposed here for debrancher action on phosphorylase limit dextrin, although hypothetical, is consistent with the evidence that the debrancher has two distinct catalytic sites and a polymer binding site or sites that overlap or interact strongly. It accounts for the observed inhibition patterns with limit dextrin and glucose incorporation and simul-...

It is convenient to consider the inhibition patterns in terms of plots of l/iy, versus l/[substrate), at various concentrations of inhibitor. Varying inhibitor may affect only the slopes of the plots (competitive inhibition). 

Establishing the inhibition patterns in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is usually an important step in elucidating the reaction mechanism. One complication in the interpretation of such data is the possible formation of dead-end complexes (i.e., a complex of the form EAP in the above scheme). This is especially important in rapid-equilibrium reactions [ones in which all steps except the rate constants for the central isomerization step (EAB EPQ in the above example) are very large].
