Find KI for inhibitor 2.

As shown in class, since the Km values for the reactions are the same but the Vmax values are

not, we are facing with a noncompetitive inhibition:

To find KI in this case we use:

Vmax
V max app = (1)
[I ]
1+
KI
Data (obtained from class):
V maxapp =25 , Vmax=50 , [ I ] =5 mM
Solving:
[ I ] ∙ V maxapp 5∙ 25
K I= = =5 m M
Vmax−V max app 50−25

So, 5 mM is the KI for the second inhibitor.
