About Competitive Enzyme Inhibition
Enzyme competitive inhibition occurs when a molecule similar to the substrate competes for binding at the active site of the enzyme, reducing the rate of the reaction.
The formula used in this calculator is:
v = (Vmax × [S]) / (Km × (1 + [I]/Ki) + [S])
Where:
- v is the reaction rate
- Vmax is the maximum reaction velocity
- [S] is the substrate concentration
- Km is the Michaelis constant
- [I] is the inhibitor concentration
- Ki is the inhibition constant
In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor's effect can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration.
