Product inhibition

Product inhibition

Product inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where the product of a enzyme reaction binds to the enzyme and inhibits its activity. [cite journal |author=Walter C, Frieden E. |title=The prevalence and significance of the product inhibition of enzymes |journal=Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas Mol. Biol. |volume=25 |issue= |pages=167–274 |year=1963 |pmid=14149677 |doi=10.1002/9780470122709.ch4]

This can be important in the regulation of metabolism as a form of negative feedback controlling metabolic pathways. [cite journal |author=Hutson NJ, Kerbey AL, Randle PJ, Sugden PH |title=Regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by insulin action |journal=Prog. Clin. Biol. Res. |volume=31 |issue= |pages=707–19 |year=1979 |pmid=231784] Product inhibition is also an important topic in biotechnology as overcoming this effect can increase the yield of a product such as an antibiotic. [cite journal |author=Schügerl K, Hubbuch J |title=Integrated bioprocesses |journal=Curr. Opin. Microbiol. |volume=8 |issue=3 |pages=294–300 |year=2005 |pmid=15939352 |doi=10.1016/j.mib.2005.01.002]
