A vector method of representation of enzymic reactions

Perspectives of data analysis of enzyme inhibition and activation, Part 2: Parametrical classification of types of enzymatic reactions

A parametrical classification of types of enzymatic reactions that counts 15 types-7 inhibited reactions, 7 activated ones, and 1 type of initial (uninhibited and nonactivated) reaction-is considered. The system permits taking into account the number of parameters of enzymatic reactions and symmetricity of a course of their change.

Corrected equations for calculation of constants in enzyme inhibition and activation

Equations for calculation of the constants of biparametrical types of enzyme inhibition and activation were obtained that take into account a ratio of the lengths of L vector projections representing such reactions in the three-dimensional K (m)V I coordinate system. This allows higher accuracy of calculation and is more correct for comparison of these constants. Examples of data analysis of enzyme inhibition and activation by using the traditional equations (they do not take into account the lengths of vector projections) and corrected ones (they take into account the lengths of vector projections) are given. The corrected and traditional equations are used for calculation of the constants of biparametrical types of enzyme inhibition and activation.
