Consider Le Châtelier’s Principle. In which direction does the addition of an uncompetitive inhibitor shift the original E + S ⇌ ES equilibrium?
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
Consider Le Châtelier’s Principle. In which direction does the addition of an uncompetitive
inhibitor shift the original E + S ⇌ ES equilibrium?
Given that, an enzyme catalysed equilibrium reaction, E + S ⇌ ES.
We have to in which direction the equilibrium is shifted, if an uncompetitive inhibitor is added, according to the Le Châtelier’s Principle.
Introduction: An uncompetitive inhibitor is a type of inhibitor which doesn't directly bind with the enzyme, rather it's bond with the enzyme substrate complex. That's it doesn't compete with the substrate to bind with the enzyme. Because of this, it is called uncompetitive inhibitor.
