Abstract

A model is presented that accounts for all types of reversible inhibition by a single inhibitor molecule in bimolecular rapid-equilibrium random-order enzyme systems. The characterization of inhibition mechanisms by graphical methods is examined, and a system of nomenclature is suggested.
