 Enzyme Kinetics Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. It helps in understanding how enzymes work and how their activity can be modulated. Two important models in enzyme kinetics are the Michaelis-Menten model and the Lineweaver-Burk plot. Michaelis-Menten Kinetics The Michaelis-Menten equation describes the rate of enzymatic reactions by relating the … Read more

Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that interfere with the activity of enzymes, either by blocking or reducing their catalytic activity. These inhibitors play crucial roles in regulating various biological processes, and they are classified into different types based on their mechanisms of action. Understanding enzyme inhibitors is essential for drug design, as many pharmaceuticals target specific … Read more
