Urea is a non-competitive inhibitor which means that the Vmax will decrease and the Km will remain unchanged during the process.

An enzyme citrate synthase in the Krebs cycle is inhibited by ATP What type of inhibition would this be?

Citrate synthase is inhibited by ATP. Obviously, the Krebs cycle produces ATP. This is the first step and one of the major regulatory steps in the pathway. If the cell has plenty of ATP, then it wouldn't need to keep making it, thus the pathway needs to be shut off. ATP inhibits the enzyme to shut off the pathway. This is an example of feedback inhibition (you can also call it negative inhibition or even product inhibition). Feedback inhibition is when the products of a certain biochemical pathway inhibit earlier enzymes, shutting down the pathway.

How is competitive inhibition different from non competitive inhibition?

Competitive Inhibition is a substance that binds to the active site in place of the substance while Non-competitive Inhibition is a substance that binds to a location remote from the active site. (:


What are some differences and or similarities in the type of inhibition caused by heat acid or base and heavy metal ions on enzyme activity?

Heat, acid, and base can denature enzymes by disrupting their structure, leading to reversible inhibition. Heavy metal ions can bind to specific amino acid residues on enzyme active sites, causing irreversible inhibition. Both types of inhibition can decrease enzyme activity, although heavy metal ions typically have longer-lasting effects due to the irreversible nature of their inhibition.

What is the type of enzyme inhibition in which the Km changes but the Vmax does not?

Non-competitive inhibition. This type of inhibition occurs when the inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is different from the active site, causing a conformational change in the enzyme and affecting its ability to bind substrate. The inhibitor can bind to both the free enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complex with equal affinity.


What is the relationship between uncompetitive inhibition and the Michaelis constant (Km) in enzyme kinetics?

In uncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to the enzyme-substrate complex, not the free enzyme. This type of inhibition does not affect the Michaelis constant (Km) but decreases the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of the enzyme.
