Competitive inhibition can be overcome by adding more substrate to the reaction, which increases the chances of the enzyme and substrate binding. As a result, competitive inhibition alters only the K m, leaving the V max the same. [3] This can be demonstrated using enzyme kinetics plots such as the Michaelis–Menten or the Lineweaver-Burk plot.
An example of a substrate analog that is also a suicide substrate/Trojan horse substrate is penicillin, which is an inhibitory substrate analog of peptidoglycan. [ 8 ] Some substrate analogs can still allow the enzyme to synthesize a product despite the enzyme’s inability to metabolize the substrate analog.
This can be competitive inhibition, uncompetitive inhibition, non-competitive inhibition or partially competitive inhibition. If the molecule induces enzymes that are responsible for its own metabolism, this is called auto-induction (or auto-inhibition if there is inhibition).
The apparent value of is unaffected by competitive inhibitors. Therefore competitive inhibitors have the same intercept on the ordinate as uninhibited enzymes. Competitive inhibition increases the apparent value of , or lowers substrate affinity. Graphically this can be seen as the inhibited enzyme having a larger intercept on the abscissa.
For example, an inhibitor might compete with substrate A for the first binding site, but be a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to substrate B in the second binding site. [ 26 ] Traditionally reversible enzyme inhibitors have been classified as competitive, uncompetitive, or non-competitive, according to their effects on K m and V max . [ 14 ]
Two equations listed below that are referred to as non-competitive substrate inhibition and competitive substrate inhibition models respectively by Shuler and Michael in Bioprocess Engineering: Basic Concepts. Note that the Haldane equation above is a special case of the following non-competitive substrate inhibition model, where KI >>Ks. [1]
