Active site titration by a reversible tight-binding inhibitor normally depends on prior knowledge of the inhibition constant. Conversely, the determination of tight-binding inhibition constants normally requires prior knowledge of the active enzyme concentration. Often, neither of these quantities i

✦ Synopsis
Determination of tight-binding inhibition constants by nonlinear least-squares regression requires sufficiently good initial estimates of the best-fit values.
Normally an initial estimate of the inhibition constant must be provided by the investigator. This paper describes an automatic procedure for the estimation of tight-binding inhibition constants directly from doseresponse data. Because the procedure does not require human intervention, it was incorporated into an algorithm for high-throughput screening of enzyme inhibitors. A suitable computer program is available electronically (http://www.biokin.com). Representative experimental data are shown for the inhibition of human mast-cell tryptase.

A general procedure is described for determining the kinetic constants of the slow, tight-binding inhibition of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by analyzing the data of initial and steady-state rate. All unknown parameters can be determined from several simple, sequential calculations. This method is sim
