Title: Enzyme Kinetics and Inhibitors
Post by: Sis290025 on September 20, 2010, 10:51:36 PM

For reversible inhibitors, such as competitive, uncompetitive, and mixed inhibitors, are the values of alpha and alpha prime necessarily expressed to the nearest whole number? For example, can alpha or alpha prime ever be expressed as a number with more than one decimal place like 1.566? Also, must alpha and alpha prime always be equal or greater than 1?

Thank you for any response.
