A steady-state algebraic model for the time course of covalent enzyme inhibition
Kuzmic, P.
Show abstract
This report describes a double-exponential algebraic equation for the time course of irreversible enzyme inhibition following the two-step mechanism E + I {rightleftharpoons} E{middle dot}I [->] EI, under the steady-state approximation. Under the previously invoked rapid-equilibrium approximation [Kitz & Wilson (1962) J. Biol. Chem. 237, 3245] it was assumed that the rate constant for the reversible dissociation of the initial noncovalent complex is very much faster than the rate constant for the irreversible inactivation step. The steady-state algebraic equation reported here removes any restrictions on the relative magnitude of microscopic rate constants. The resulting formula was used in heuristic simulations designed to test the performance of the standard rapid-equilibrium kinetic model. The results show that if the inactivation rate constant is significantly higher than the dissociation rate constant, the conventional "kobs" method is incapable of correctly distinguishing between the two-step inhibition mechanism and a simpler one-step variant, E + I [->] EI, even for inhibitors that have very high binding affinity in the reversible noncovalent step.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
