Step 1. Formation of the ES complex:
• formation an enzyme-substrate complex in a
relatively fast reversible step:
• forward rate v1 = k1[S][E]
• backward rate v-1 = k-1[ES]
• K = k1/k-1
• k1 k2

Mixed inhibition
Mixed inhibition
Mixed inhibition is when the inhibitor binds to the
enzyme at a location distinct from the substrate
binding site. The binding of the inhibitor will either
alter the KM or Vmax or both.
