inhiboiviin
Inhiboiviin is a fictional small-molecule compound commonly referenced in teaching materials to illustrate principles of enzyme inhibition. It is not listed in chemical databases and has no verified experimental data; its use is primarily as a pedagogical placeholder in discussions of kinetics and drug design.
In standard classroom scenarios, inhiboiviin is described as a reversible competitive inhibitor of a generic enzyme.
Chemical descriptions of inhiboiviin vary across texts, but it is commonly depicted as having a heterocyclic
Applications of the inhiboiviin concept include demonstrations of Michaelis–Menten and Lineweaver–Burk plots, comparisons of different inhibition
