On the use of apparent kinetic parameters for immobilized enzyme with uncompetitive substrate inhibition [corrected].
The use of a simple rate equation with apparent parameters to describe the kinetic behavior of an immobilized enzyme with uncompetitive [corrected] substrate inhibition was assessed. To do so, the reaction rate was calculated as a function of the interfacial substrate concentration, and the results were used to identify the apparent kinetic parameters by nonlinear regression. This procedure was repeated for different values of the diffusional constraints and of the inhibition constant. The equation using apparent parameters can describe the global kinetic behavior, provided that the diffusional and inhibitory constraints are not too high. When the constraints are high, a Michaelis-Menten equation can be used to model the kinetics for interfacial concentrations lower than the concentration leading to the maximum reaction rate.
