I recently performed a series of experiments using the enzyme acid phosphatase. To observe the inhibition of enzyme activity, disodium phosphate was added to an experimental solution, and the rate of activity was compared to the control, in which the enzyme performed under standard conditions (pH 5/20C). The solution with the addition of disodium phosphate performed poorly when compared to the control, as expected. My question is, what kind of inhibition is this? Competitive or noncompetitive? And why?

An inhibitor (I) is added to the enzymatic reaction at a level of 1.0 g/liter. The following data were obtained for Km = 9.2 g S/liter.

V: 0.909 0.658 0.493 0.4 0.333 0.289 0.227

S: 20 10 6.67 5 4 3.33 2.5

Is the inhibitor competitive or noncompetitive?

2) Find K_I

Look up published modes of inhibition for the three inhibitors and compare with your conclusions. Explain why your results might suggest a different mechanism vs. published mechanisms. Provide references for published sources.
