The kinetic theory of substrate reaction during the modification of enzyme activity [Duggleby (1986) J. Theor. Biol. 123, 67-80; Wang and Tsou (1990) J. Theor. Biol. 142, 531-549] has been applied to a study of the inactivation kinetics of ribonuclease A by bromopyruvic acid. The results show that irreversible inhibition belongs to a non-competitive complexing type inhibition. On the basis of the kinetic equation of substrate reaction in the presence of the inhibitor, all microscopic kinetic constants for the free enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex and the enzyme-product complex have been determined. The non-competitive inhibition type indicates that neither the substrate nor the product affects the binding of bromopyruvic acid to the enzyme and that the ionization state of His-119 may be the same in both the enzyme-substrate and the enzyme-product complexes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008956	Models, Chemical	Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of chemical processes or phenomena; includes the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment.	Chemical Models,Chemical Model,Model, Chemical
D010179	Pancreas	A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D011773	Pyruvates	Derivatives of PYRUVIC ACID, including its salts and esters.
D002417	Cattle	Domesticated bovine animals of the genus Bos, usually kept on a farm or ranch and used for the production of meat or dairy products or for heavy labor.

D004791	Enzyme Inhibitors	Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction.	Enzyme Inhibitor,Inhibitor, Enzyme,Inhibitors, Enzyme
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
