- Control of metabolic activity
- Competitive
- Molecule has similar shape so it can fit into the active site.
- Blocks substrate, prevents it from catalysing
- Inhibited
- Blocks substrate, prevents it from catalysing
- Substrate and inhibitor molecules compete
- Statins
- reduce high cholesterol concentration.
- Molecule has similar shape so it can fit into the active site.
- Effects on rate of reaction
- If substrate molecule is increased enough there will be more substrate.
- Non- competitive
- Inhibitor binds at another site
- Allosteric site
- Irreversible non-competitive inhibtors
- Can't be removed
- Toxic
- Organophosphates
- Toxic
- Can't be removed
- Inhibitor binds at another site
- Effects of rate of reaction
- Increasing concentrationdecreases rate of reaction.
- End product inhibition
- Negative feedback
- Product acts as inhibitor
- ATP
- Competitive
