: maximum enzyme velocity ( mol/min). : Michaelis-Menten constant ( M). : inhibition constant ( M). Alpha: constant that determines mechanism. If alpha = 1, this is the same as noncompetitive. If alpha is very high, then the model approaches a competitive model. If alpha is very low (but greater than zero), the model approaches an uncompetitive model. All parameters were calculated by GraphPad Prism 5.0 software.
