Hey, my question is, is irreversible inhibition basically the same as competitive and non-competitive inhibition, except that the inhibitor in question binds permanently to the enzyme and thus renders the enzyme unusable? Thank you.
Hello everyone, I'm currently practicing for a class test we're writing soon. The topic is enzyme inhibition and enzyme activity. While practicing, there was this one question: Explain why the end-product inhibition of a metabolic chain is most likely not realized via the mechanism of competitive inhibition I don't really understand the task, and it…
My question is… How can non-competitive inhibition be reversible, but still not reach the Vmax, or maximum speed, on the graph? How then can one distinguish on the graph whether non-competitive inhibition is reversible or irreversible?
We're currently learning about the different ways to inhibit enzymes. I'm just wondering why the body produces inhibitors in the first place?
