The difference between ergosterol and cholesterol is much more obvious in their interactions with POPC and DOPC. Whereas cholesterol induces a strong condensing effect that thickens both POPC and DOPC bilayers, ergosterol shows no condensing effect in POPC and DOPC at all.
Michaelis constant is known as km which is the substrate concentration that encourages the compound to work at half maximum velocity represented by Vmax/2. Michaelis constant is inversely related to the substrate and the affinity of the enzyme.
Induced fit model: The premise of the purported induced fit hypothesis, which expresses that the attachment or association of a substrate or some other atom to an enzyme causes an adjustment to the enzyme in order to fit or restrain its activity.
In substrate, analog Km or Michaelis constant will be high as the substrate will stay because of analogs inhibit activity.
In the transitional state, analog Km will be in the middle of the substrate and product analogs. Progress state analogs are synthetic mixes with a structure catalyzed reaction that looks like the progressing condition of a substrate atom in a compound enzyme.
