title: Rigorous determination of the Hill coefficient of non-Michaelian substrate-inhibited enzymes.
abstract: The Hill coefficient (n), the max. velocity (VM) and the dissociation constants of the competent enzyme-substrate complex (Ks) and of the inhibitory bindings of substrate to both pure enzyme (Kse) and to ES (Kses) can be determined using a particular property of the representative equation. Choosing successive pairs of substrate concns (Si, Sj) in such a way as Si.Sj = 1, and plotting Sj-1 versus Si-1 gives a family of straight lines whose slopes are: b = Ks.kses, i.e.b = Sm2n, independent of Si, Sj. Then: n = Lnb/2 LnSm, where Sm corresponds to vm, maximum value of v on the curve. All of the other parameters can be calculated from the value of n.
