Discussion:
Inhibitors: Irreversible and Reversible
Question:
It is possible to distinguish between an irreversible inhibitor and a classical mixed type reversible inhibitor by measuring Vmax of the enzymatic reaction as a function of [E]t in the absence and presence of the inhibitor.
1. What does the slope represent in each case?
2. What does the X-axis intercept represent in each case?
