		EXAMPLE CD7-5 Match Eadie Plots to the Different Types of Inhibition
		Determine the figure that corresponds to each of the three types of inhibition: competitive, uncompetitive, and noncompetitive.
		SOLUTION
		For competitive inhibition:
		Multiplying by and rearranging, we obtain
		We see that a plot of rp vs. rp /S will be a straight line with a slope, where
		A change in the inhibitor concentration will change the slope of the Eadie plot but not the intercept. The greater the inhibitor concentration, the greater (i.e., steeper) the slope.
		Ans.: Figure CD7-3b
		For uncompetitive inhibition:
		After rearranging (CD7-16) so that
		we see that increasing the inhibitor concentration will decrease the slope and the intercept of an Eadie plot.
		Ans.:Figure CD7-3c.
		For noncompetitive inhibition:
		Again,multiplying by (S + K m) and rearranging, we obtain
		In the case of noncompetitive inhibition, increasing the inhibitor concentration decreases the intercept but does not affect the slope of an Eadie plot.
		Ans.: Figure CD7-3a .
