I’m reviewing Enzyme Inhibition and am having issues wrapping my head around non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibition (and their consequent effect on Vmax / Km.) ## Enzyme Inhibition Overview### Graph: Enzyme Inhibition Types**Graph Explanation:**- The graph illustrates different types of enzyme inhibition by showing reaction velocity (V) against substrate concentration ([S]).- **Uninhibited Reaction:** The black curve represents an uninhibited enzyme reaction, reaching a maximum velocity (Vmax). The substrate concentration at half the maximum velocity is denoted as Km.- **Competitive Inhibition (Red Curve):** This curve shows an increase in Km with no change in Vmax, indicating the need for higher substrate concentration to reach the same velocity.- **Non-Competitive Inhibition (Green Curve):** Here, Vmax is decreased while Km remains the same. This indicates that the inhibitor impacts Vmax but does not affect substrate binding.- **Uncompetitive Inhibition (Purple Curve):** Both Vmax and Km are decreased. This reflects the binding of inhibitor only after the substrate is bound.### Types of Enzyme Inhibition1. **Competitive Inhibition** - **Binding Site:** Active site. - **Effect on Vmax:** Remains the same. - **Effect on Km:** Increases. - **Notes:** Inhibition can be overcome by increasing substrate concentration.2. **Non-Competitive Inhibition** - **Binding Site:** Allosteric site. - **Effect on Vmax:** Decreases. - **Effect on Km:** Remains the same. - **Notes:** Does not affect substrate binding; it turns the enzyme off.3. **Uncompetitive Inhibition** - **Binding Site:** Allosteric site at enzyme-substrate (E-S) complex. - **Effect on Vmax:** Decreases. - **Effect on Km:** Decreases. - **Notes:** Binds after the substrate, locking E-S together and preventing product formation.4. **Mixed Inhibition** - **Binding Site:** Allosteric site on enzyme or E-S complex. - **Effect on Vmax:** Decreases. - **Effect on Km:** Variable (unknown).### Important Concepts- **Km and Vmax:** Key indicators used to understand enzyme activity under different inhibitory conditions.- **Allosteric Sites:** Alternative binding sites on the enzyme that affect enzyme activity without competing with the substrate at the active site.

In Enzyme inhibition the inhibitors are bind to the enzyme and suppress the activity of enzyme.
