Final Rate Constant for Catalysis
Final Rate Constant for Catalysis is the rate constant when the enzyme-substrate complex on reaction with inhibitor is converted into the enzyme catalyst and product.
Symbol: kfinal
Measurement: First Order Reaction Rate ConstantUnit: s⁻¹
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Initial Reaction Rate
The Initial Reaction Rate is defined as the initial speed at which a chemical reaction takes place.
Symbol: V0
Measurement: Reaction RateUnit: mol/L*s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Michaelis Constant
The Michaelis Constant is numerically equal to the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of the maximum rate of the system.
Symbol: KM
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Inhibitor Concentration
The Inhibitor concentration is defined as the number of moles of inhibitor present per liter of solution of the system.
Symbol: I
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Enzyme Inhibitor Dissociation Constant
The Enzyme Inhibitor Dissociation Constant is measured by the method in which the inhibitor is titrated into a solution of enzyme and the heat released or absorbed is measured.
Symbol: Ki
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Substrate Concentration
The Substrate Concentration is the number of moles of substrate per liter solution.
Symbol: S
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Initial Enzyme Concentration
The Initial Enzyme Concentration is defined as the concentration of enzyme at the start of the reaction.
Symbol: [E0]
Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mol/L
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
