### Enzyme Kinetics and Inhibition

The following table provides kinetic data for various enzymes in the presence and absence of specific inhibitors. The data includes values for the Michaelis constant (\(K_M\)) and the maximum velocity (\(V_{\text{max}}\)) of each enzyme reaction. Use this information to determine the type of inhibition each inhibitor imposes on its respective enzyme.

#### Enzyme Data Table

| Enzyme             | \(K_M\) (mM) | \(V_{\text{max}}\) (mmol/s) |
|--------------------|------------|---------------------|
| Carbonic Anhydrase | 8,000      | 600,000             |
| + Inhibitor A      | 12,000     | 600,000             |
| Chymotrypsin       | 5,000      | 100                 |
| + Inhibitor B      | 5,000      | 100                 |
| Penicillinase      | 50         | 2,000               |
| + Inhibitor C      | 30         | 1,500               |
| Lysozyme           | 6          | 0.5                 |
| + Inhibitor D      | 15         | 0.5                 |
| Carboxypeptidase A | 3          | 1,000               |
| + Inhibitor E      | 3          | 800                 |

### Types of Enzyme Inhibition

Below is a classification task. Based on the provided data, categorize each inhibitor into one of three types of enzyme inhibition: Competitive, Noncompetitive, and Uncompetitive.

#### Inhibition Classification

- **Competitive:** Inhibition increases \(K_M\) but does not affect \(V_{\text{max}}\).

- **Noncompetitive:** Inhibition does not alter \(K_M\) but decreases \(V_{\text{max}}\).

- **Uncompetitive:** Inhibition decreases both \(K_M\) and \(V_{\text{max}}\).

#### Answer Bank
- **Competitive:**
  - Inhibitor A

- **Noncompetitive:**
  - Inhibitor B
  - Inhibitor E

- **Uncompetitive:**
  - Inhibitor C
  - Inhibitor D

This classification will aid in understanding how different inhibitors affect enzyme efficiency and affinity. Use this data to explore enzyme kinetics further.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Competitive inhibition

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for active site of an enzyme. If inhibitor occupies the active site, it prevents substrate  from binding to the enzyme. Competitive inhibitors are structurally similar to substrates. Enzymes form EI ( enzyme inhibitor ) complexes and prevent product formation.

Km value will be increased in the presence of competitive inhibitor but Vmax is unaffected. Km is the substrate concentration at which  V= Vmax /2

Vmax = maximum velocity

Here we have to choose the inhibitors with increased Km value and unaffected Vmax.

Inhibitors are A and D
