Substrates inhibition

In a number of cases, the substrate itself can act as a inhibitor. In the ca uncompetitive inhibition, the inactive molecules (S E S) is formed b reaction 

Substrate reaction rate as a function of substrate concentration 

When substrate inhibition is possible, a semibatch reactor called a fecJ bti/c/i is often used as a CSTK to ma.ximize the reaction rate and conversion. 

Our discussion of enzyme.s is continued in the Professional Reference Shelf on the DVD-ROM and on the Web where we describe multiple enzyme and. substrate systems, enzyme regeneration, and enzyme co-tactors (see R9.6).

More recently, the synthesis of biomass (i.e., cell/organisms) has become an important alternative energy source. In 2009, ExxonMobil invested over 600 million dollars to develop algae growth and harvest in waste ponds. It is estimated that one acre of algae can provide 2,(XK) gallons of gasoline per year. 

At higher concentrations, the substrates will often act as dead-end inhibitors, particularly when a reaction is being studied in the nonphysiological direction substrate inhibition does not normally occur at physiological substrate concentrations. To the kineticist, however, substrate inhibitions are one of the best diagnostic tools for studying mechanisms, and their importance cannot be overemphasized (Cleland, 1970, 1977, 1979 Fromm 1975). 

Monosubstrate enzyme reactions are rare in nature and, therefore, a substrate inhibition in monosubstrate reactions must be considered an extremely rare occurrence in the nature, although a Uni Bi mechanism does occur. 

We shall turn now to much more realistic cases of bisubstrate reactions. The proper way to study a substrate inhibition in bisubstrate reactions is to vary a noninhibitory substrate, at differing high levels of the inhibitory one and see whether the slopes, intercepts, or both of reciprocal plots show the inhibitory effects (Cleland, 1979). These cases are then called competitive, uncompetitive, and noncompetitive substrate inhibition, respectively. 

3 Substrate Inhibition in a Rapid Equilibrium Random Bisubstrate System 

In rapid equilibrium random systems, one substrate may have an appreciable affinity for the other substrate s binding site, particularly when the two substrates are chemically similar. In such cases, a substrate inhibition by one of the substrates may take place. Let us examine the case when the binding of substrate B to the A site does not prevent B from binding to its own site, so that two deadend complexes form, BE and BEB.

Enzymatic reactions frequently undergo a phenomenon referred to as substrate inhibition. Here, the reaction rate reaches a maximum and subsequently falls as shown in Eigure 11-lb. Enzymatic reactions can also exhibit substrate activation as depicted by the sigmoidal type rate dependence in Eigure 11-lc. Biochemical reactions are limited by mass transfer where a substrate has to cross cell walls. Enzymatic reactions that depend on temperature are modeled with the Arrhenius equation. Most enzymes deactivate rapidly at temperatures of 50°C-100°C, and deactivation is an irreversible process. 

In many cases, problems cannot be overcome by biological means. This is especially true for those related to inhibition by substrate or product. There may, however, be technical solutions to these problems. Nowadays, complicated feed strategies with different substrates can be achieved through the use of flow injection analysis, on-line sensors, mass flow meters and sophisticated computer control. Such control coupled to a fed-batch mode of operation (Figure 2.5) can often eleviate problems caused by substrate inhibition. For some processes, continuous product removal can avoid the problems associated with product inhibition the various options include ... 

Equation (3.14.2.11) predicts the cell dry weight concentration with respect to time. The model shows the cell dry weight concentration (x) is independent of substrate concentration. However, the logistic model includes substrate inhibition, which is not clearly seen from Equation (3.14.2.11). 

Since there are various specific growth rates and different values of rate constants while substrate concentration varies, therefore mix inhibition exists. Andrew26 incorporated a substrate inhibition model27 in the Monod equation the modified Monod equations with second-order substrate inhibition are presented in (3.14.5.1) and (3.14.5.2).16,17... 

The experimental data followed the predicted model and the line represents the above stated function. The presented data indicate that the range of concentrations in this study exhibited an observed substrate inhibition. The experimental data from the current studies were observed to be fit with the predicted model based on Andrew s modified equations.

Substrate and product inhibitions analyses involved considerations of competitive, uncompetitive, non-competitive and mixed inhibition models. The kinetic studies of the enantiomeric hydrolysis reaction in the membrane reactor included inhibition effects by substrate (ibuprofen ester) and product (2-ethoxyethanol) while varying substrate concentration (5-50 mmol-I ). The initial reaction rate obtained from experimental data was used in the primary (Hanes-Woolf plot) and secondary plots (1/Vmax versus inhibitor concentration), which gave estimates of substrate inhibition (K[s) and product inhibition constants (A jp). The inhibitor constant (K[s or K[v) is a measure of enzyme-inhibitor affinity. It is the dissociation constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex. 

The inhibition analyses were examined differently for free lipase in a batch and immobilised lipase in membrane reactor system. Figure 5.14 shows the kinetics plot for substrate inhibition of the free lipase in the batch system, where [5] is the concentration of (S)-ibuprofen ester in isooctane, and v0 is the initial reaction rate for (S)-ester conversion. The data for immobilised lipase are shown in Figure 5.15 that is, the kinetics plot for substrate inhibition for immobilised lipase in the EMR system. The Hanes-Woolf plots in both systems show similar trends for substrate inhibition. The graphical presentation of rate curves for immobilised lipase shows higher values compared with free enzymes. The value for the...

The values determined from Figure 5.23 agree well with the values calculated from the equations (Table 5.5), with an error of 3.81% for the slope and 4.65% for the intersect, respectively. The obtained experimental data were consistent with the proposed enzymatic reaction and the reaction mechanisms with uncompetitive substrate inhibition and the noncompetitive product inhibition model. 

The system works even at 3 M substrate concentration with 90% conversion, 98.5%ee, and essentially no substrate inhibition. Volumetric productivity, which is of great importance in any industrial application, was enhanced by the process of directed evolution [20]. 

As was noted by Jones (ref. 12) the success of a metal bromide as a catalyst for alkylaromatic autoxidations depends on the ability of the metal to transfer rapidly and efficiently oxidizing power from various autoxidation intermediates onto bromide ion in a manner which generates Br-. The fact that no free bromine is observable in this system is consistent with rapid reaction of intermediate bromine atoms with the substrate. Inhibition of the reaction by cupric salts can be explained by the rapid removal of Br2 or ArCH2- via one-electron oxidation by Cu (Fig. 10).

As written, this rate equation exhibits neither inhibition nor activation. However, the substrate inhibition of Example 12.1 occurs if 2 = 0, and substrate activation occurs if k = 0. 

Reactant molecules cause the substrate inhibition and activation discussed in Section 12.1.1. These eflects and deactivation can also be caused by other molecules and by changes in environmental conditions. 

Cell cultures can be inhibited by an excessive concentration of the substrate. One way to model substrate inhibition is to include an term in the denominator of the rate equation. See Equation (12.4).

In our previous work [63], we studied the hydrolysis kinetics of lipase from Mucor javanicus in a modified Lewis cell (Fig. 4). Initial hydrolysis reaction rates (uri) were measured in the presence of lipase in the aqueous phase (borate buffer). Initial substrate (trilinolein) concentration (TLj) in the organic phase (octane) was between 0.05 and 8 mM. The presence of the interface with octane enhances hydrolysis [37]. Lineweaver-Burk plots of the kinetics curve (1/Uj.] = f( /TL)) gave straight lines, demonstrating that the hydrolysis reaction shows the expected kinetic behavior (Michaelis-Menten). Excess substrate results in reaction inhibition. Apparent parameters of the Michaelis equation were determined from the curve l/urj = f /TL) and substrate inhibition was determined from the curve 1/Uj.] =f(TL) ... 

A second ternary complex reaction mechanism is one in which there is a compulsory order to the substrate binding sequence. Reactions that conform to this mechanism are referred to as bi-bi compulsory ordered ternary complex reactions (Figure 2.13). In this type of mechanism, productive catalysis only occurs when the second substrate binds subsequent to the first substrate. In many cases, the second substrate has very low affinity for the free enzyme, and significantly greater affinity for the binary complex between the enzyme and the first substrate. Thus, for all practical purposes, the second substrate cannot bind to the enzyme unless the first substrate is already bound. In other cases, the second substrate can bind to the free enzyme, but this binding event leads to a nonproductive binary complex that does not participate in catalysis. The formation of such a nonproductive binary complex would deplete the population of free enzyme available to participate in catalysis, and would thus be inhibitory (one example of a phenomenon known as substrate inhibition see Copeland, 2000, for further details). When substrate-inhibition is not significant, the overall steady state velocity equation for a mechanism of this type, in which AX binds prior to B, is given by Equation (2.16) ...
