In enzyme analysis, the simple way to stop an enzyme reaction is to add trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
Explanation:
- Enzyme activity can be affected by various factors such as temperature, pH and concentration.
- There are three basic types of enzyme inhibition: competitive, non-competitive and non-competitive.
- In competitive inhibition, an inhibitor molecule is so similar to a substrate that it can bind to the active site of the enzyme to prevent it from binding to the substrate.
- Competitive inhibitors compete with substrates for the same binding site on the enzyme.
- Competitive inhibitors, as the name suggests, compete with the substrate to bind the enzyme at the same time.
- The inhibitor has an affinity for the active site of an enzyme where the substrate also binds.
