INHIBITION

MARIA ROCELINE P. SANDOY


2MT01
Enzyme inhibitor

• molecule that binds to enzymes and decreases their


activity. Molecule that interact in some way with the
enzyme to prevent it from working in the normal
manner.
• The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from
entering the enzyme's active site and/or hinder the
enzyme from catalyzing its reaction.
CLASSIFICATION:
• IRREVERSIBLE INHIBITORS
-usually react with the enzyme and change it chemically. These
inhibitors modify key amino acids residues needed for enzymatic
activity.
-enzymes undergo irreversible inactivation when they are treated with
agent capable of covalently and permanently modifying a functional
group required for catalysis, making the enzyme molecule inactive
•REVERSIBLE INHIBITORS

-bind non-covalently and different types of inhibition are


produced depending on whether these inhibitors bind the
enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex, or both.
-it has three major types: Competitive, Uncompetitive and
Non-competitive which can be experimentally distinguished
by the effects of the inhibitors on the reaction kinetics of the
enzyme, which maybe analyzed in terms of the basic
Michaelic-Menten rete equation.
Michaelis-Menten kinetics

-is a model of enzyme kinetics.


-describes the rates of irreversible
enzymatic reactions by relating reaction
rate to the concentration of the
substrate.
FORMULA:

Vo = initial velocity

Vmax = maximum reaction rate

Km =Michaelic-Menten Constant

[S] = substrate concentration


• There are three kinds of reversible enzyme inhibitors. They
are classified according to the effect of varying the
concentration of the enzyme's substrate on the inhibitor

3KINDS:
 COMPETITIVE
 UNCOMPETITIVE
 NON COMPETITIVE
•Competitive Inhibition
-at any given moment, the enzyme may be bound to the inhibitor,
the substrate, or neither, but it cannot bind both at the same time.
-In competitive inhibition, the maximum velocity (Vmax) of the
reaction is unchanged, while the apparent affinity of the substrate to
the binding site is decreased (the Kd dissociation constant is
apparently increased). The change in Km (Michaelis-Menten
constant) is parallel to the alteration in Kd. Any given competitive
inhibitor concentration can be overcome by increasing the substrate
concentration in which case the substrate will outcompete the
inhibitor in binding to the enzyme.
• EQUATION:
E + I = EI
• Dissociate constant:
KI = (E)(I)/(EI)

-Competitive inhibitors can bind to E, but not to


ES. Competitive inhibition increases Km (i.e., the
inhibitor interferes with substrate binding), but
does not affect Vmax (the inhibitor does not
hamper catalysis in ES because it cannot bind to
ES).
• Uncompetitive inhibitor
This reduction in the effective concentration to
the E-S complex increases the enzyme's
apparent affinity for the substrate through Le
Chatelier's principle (Km is lowered) and
decreases the maximum enzyme activity (Vmax),
as it takes longer for the substrate or product to
leave the active site. Uncompetitive inhibition
works best when substrate concentration is high.
An uncompetitive inhibitor need not resemble
the substrate of the reaction it is inhibiting.
• EQUATION:
ES + I = ESI
• INHIBITOR CONSTANT
KI = (ES)(I)/(ESI)
•Non-competitive inhibition
• This type of inhibition reduces the maximum rate of a
chemical reaction without changing the apparent binding
affinity of the catalyst for the substrate

• Non-competitive inhibition models a system where the


inhibitor and the substrate may both be bound to the
enzyme at any given time. When both the substrate and the
inhibitor are bound, the enzyme-substrate-inhibitor
complex cannot form product and can only be converted
back to the enzyme-substrate complex or the enzyme-
inhibitor complex. Non-competitive inhibition is
distinguished from general mixed inhibition in that the
inhibitor has an equal affinity for the enzyme and the
enzyme-substrate complex.
• EQUATION:
E + I = EI
or
 ES + I = ESI

INHIBITOR CONSTANT:
KI=(E)(I)/(EI)
or
KI=(ES)(I)/(ESI)

-Non-competitive inhibitors have identical affinities for E


and ES (Ki = Ki'). Non-competitive inhibition does not
change Km (i.e., it does not affect substrate binding) but
decreases Vmax (i.e., inhibitor binding hampers catalysis).
Uses of inhibitors

• Enzyme inhibitors are found in nature and are also


designed and produced as part of pharmacology and
biochemistry. Natural poisons are often enzyme inhibitors
that have evolved to defend a plant or animal against
predators. These natural toxins include some of the most
poisonous compounds known. Artificial inhibitors are
often used as drugs, but can also be insecticides such as
malathion, herbicides such as glyphosate, or disinfectants
such as triclosan.
