Two biokinetic models (\circled1 Mrichaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive inhibition \circled2 with both competitive inhibition and Haldane inhibition) for reductive dechlorination were developed and compared with results from batch kinetic tests conducted over a wide range of PCE and TCE concentrations with two different dechlorinating cultures. At PCE concentrations lower than 300 $\mu$M, both model simulated the experimental results well. However, The kinetic model that incorporated both competitive and Haldane inhibitions much better simulated experimental data for PCE concentrations greater than 300-400 $\mu$M, and TCE concentrations at half its solubility limit (4000 $\mu$M). The PM culture showed Haldane inhibition constants of 900, 6000, 7000 $\mu$M for TCE, c-DCE and VC, indicating very weak Haldane inhibition for c-DCE and VC, while the EV culture had lower Haldane inhibition constants for TCE, c-DCE, and VC of 900, 750, and 750 $\mu$M, respectively. The BM culture had better transformation abilities than the individual cultures over a wide range of PCE and TCE concentrations. Modeling results indicated that a combination of competitive and Haldane inhibition kinetics is required to simulate dechlorination over a broad range of concentrations up to the solubility limits of PCE and TCE.

The inhibition mode of S-hydroxy-2-phenylalanylaminomethyl-4-pyron ($IC_{50}=24.6{\;}{\mu}M$) on mushroom tyrosinase was investigated using L-tyrosine as a substrate. This inhibitor is the kojic acid derivative, where the C-7 hydroxyl of kojic acid was replaced by amino group and coupled to the carboxyl of L-phenylalanine. The kinetic data obtained show a competitive inhibition pattern.

Effects of some diacid, diamine and dinitro aromatic compounds on the structure and activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) were investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometry in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH = 7.5 and 27 ${^{\circ}C}$ and molecular docking studies. The results showed that all tested ligands are showing inhibition; five ligands are uncompetitive and other two ligands are mixed of competitive and noncompetetive inhibitors with majority of competitive behavior. For the later case analysis was done based on competitive inhibition. Diacids have larger size and higher inhibition constant ($K_I$) relative to others. A logical correlation between calculated free energy of binding and experimental values was obtained for un-competitive. Experimental and calculated data showed that competitive inhibitors are distributed near the active site of enzyme and form several cluster of ranks, whereas uncompetitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme-substrate complex and distributed far from the active site. Results of structure-activity relationship showed that, larger, more hydrophobe, less spherical and more aromatic ligands have higher inhibition constants.

The interactive inhibitory effects of pH and chloride on the catalysis of laccase from Trametes versicolor were investigated by studying the alteration of inhibition characteristics of sodium chloride at different pHs for the oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid). At pH 3.0, the addition of sodium chloride (50 mM) brought about a 40-fold increase in $K{_m}^{app}$ and a 4-fold decrease in $V_{max}{^{app}}$. As the pH increased to 7.0, the inhibitory effects of sodium chloride became significantly weakened. The mixed-inhibition mechanism was successfully used to quantitatively estimate the competitive and uncompetitive inhibition strengths by chloride at two different pHs (pH 3.0 and 6.0). At pH 3.0, the competitive inhibition constant, $K_i$, was 0.35 mM, whereas the uncompetitive inhibition constant, $K{_i}^{\prime}$, was 18.1 mM, indicating that the major cause of the laccase inhibition by chloride is due to the competitive inhibition step. At a higher pH of 6.0, where the inhibition of the laccase by hydroxide ions takes effect, the inhibition of the laccase by chloride diminished to a great extent, showing increased values of both the competitive inhibition constant ($K_i=23.7mM$) and uncompetitive inhibition constant ($K{_i}^{\prime}=324mM$). These kinetic results evidenced that the hydroxide anion and chloride share a common mechanism to inhibit the laccase activity.

[ ${\alpha}$ ]Glucosidase inhibitor is a target in the treatment of type II diabetes through the mainly inhibition of glucose levels after meals. In this study, we purified steppogenin and oxyresveratrol from the stem of Morus alba L. and examined their inhibitory activity against yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. Steppogenin and oxyresveratrol were inhibited yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase in a dose dependent manner. The $IC_{50}$ activities (50% inhibition) were 34.4 and 9.3 ${\mu}M$, respectively. The kinetic inhibition of steppogenin showed noncompetitive inhibition ($K_m:1.1{\times}10^{-3}M$; $K_i:1{\times}10^{-5}M$), meanwhile oxyresveratrol showed competitive inhibition ($K_m:4.3{\times}10^{-3}M$; $K_i:3.4{\times}10^{-6}M$) against yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. These results indicate that steppogenin and oxyresveratrol are noncompetitive and competitive inhibitors, respectively, against yeast ${\alpha}$-glucosidase.

The cholinesterase-inhibiting organophosphorous (OP) compounds known as nerve agents are highly toxic. The principal toxic mechanism of OP compounds is the inhibition of acethylcholine esterase (AChE) by phosphorylation of its catalytic site. The reversible competitive inhibition of AChE may prevent the subsequent OP intoxication. In this study, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) was performed to investigate the relationship between the 29 compounds with structural diversity and their bioactivities against AChE. In particular, predictive models were constructed using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). The results indicate reasonable model for CoMFA ($q^{2}=0.453,\;r^{2}=0.697$) and CoMSIA ($q^{2}=0.518,\;r^{2}=0.696$). The presence of steric and hydophobic group at naphtyl moiety of the model may lead to the design of improved competitive inhibitors for organophosphorous intoxication.

In the present study, we investigated if priming of autoreactive $CD8^+T$ cells would be inhibited by competitive peptides for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I binding. We used a mouse model of vitiligo which is induced by immunization of $K^b$-binding tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2)-180 peptide. Competitive peptides for $K^b$ binding inhibited IFN-${\gamma}$production and proliferation of TRP2-180-specific $CD8^+T$ cells upon ex vivo peptide restimulation, while other MHC class I-binding peptides did not. In mice, the capability of inhibition was influenced by T-cell immunogenicity of the competitive peptides. The competitive peptide with a high T-cell immunogenicity efficiently inhibited priming of TRP2-180-specific $CD8^+T$ cells in vivo, whereas the competitive peptide with a low T-cell immunogenicity did not. Taken together, the inhibition of priming of autoreactive $CD8^+T$ cells depends on not only competition of peptides for MHC class I binding but also competitive peptide-specific $CD8^+T$ cells, suggesting that clonal expansion of autoreactive T cells would be affected by expansion of competitive peptide-specific T cells. This result provides new insights into the development of competitive peptides-based therapy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

본 연구는 요소비료를 처리할 때 가수분해가 일어나 암모니아로 휘산되어 손실되는 것을 억제하기 위한 목적으로 목초액이 요소분해에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 기존에 수많은 요소분해 합성억제제들이 개발 또는 탐색되어 왔으나, 토양 또는 환경 별로 효과가 일정치 않고 합성물질의 경우 환경에 미치는 영향을 고려해야 한다는 점 등 때문에 그 사용이 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 친환경 농업자재인 목초액이 토양 중 요소분해에 미치는 영향을 요소분해효소(urease)활성 억제효과를 통해 평가하였다. 목초액은 식물 urease와 미생물 urease 활성저해 효과뿐만 아니라 다양한 urease complex가 존재하는 토양 urease에도 저해효과를 보였다. 이러한 요소분해효소의 저해는 jack bean urease 반응속도를 측정한 결과 non-competitive inhibition으로 판단된다. 또한 목초액을 요소와 함께 토양에 처리하였을 경우 토양 내 요소분해작용을 억제하였다. 이를 통해 목초액을 요소 비료와 같이 처리할 경우 식물에 공급되는 질소의 효율을 증진시킴과 동시에 토양에 공급되는 질소비료의 총량을 절감하여 친환경 농업에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The dibucaine number (DN) was determined for serum cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8, SChE) in plasma samples. The ones with a DN of 79-82 were used, because they had the "usual" SChE variant. The enzyme was assayed colorimetrically by the reaction of 5,5'-dithiobis-[2-nitrobenzoic acid] (DTNB) with the free sulfhydryl groups of thiocholine that were produced by the enzyme reaction with butrylthiocholine (BuTch) or acetylthiocholine (AcTch) substrates, and measured at 412 nm. Dibucaine, a quaternary ammonium compound, inhibited SChE to a minimum within 2 min in a reversible manner. The inhibition was very potent. It had an $IC_{50}$ of $5.3\;{\mu}M$ with BuTch or $3.8\;{\mu}M$ with AcTch. The inhibition was competitive with respect to BuTch with a $K_i$ of $1.3\;{\mu}M$ and a linear-mixed type (competitive/noncompetitive) with respect to AcTch with inhibition constants, $K_i$ and $K_I$ of 0.66 and $2.5\;{\mu}M$, respectively. Dibucaine possesses a butoxy side chain that is similar to the butryl group of BuTch and longer by an ethylene group from AcTch. This may account for the difference in inhibition behavior. It may also suggest the existence of an additional binding site, other than the anionic binding site, and of a hydrophobic nature.
