Two transesterification reactions takes place for 2 exon -1 intron configuration. First transesterification is catalysed variably either by external G or branch point while second transesterification is always caused by exon 1 -3’OH.

The simplest forms of competitive inhibition considered are sometimes termed linear competitive inhibition because both primary and secondary plots are linear.

In more complicated systems, the primary plots may be linear but the secondary plots non-linear. For example, if not one but two molecules of inhibitor can bind to the substrate binding site, then parabolic competitive inhibition is said to occur, because of the shape of the secondary and Dixon plots.

Similarly, if the inhibitor binds to a different site from the substrate and reduces the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate without altering the reaction characteristics of that substrate which does bind, then hyperbolic competitive inhibition results

Uncompetitive inhibitors bind only to the enzyme-substrate complex and not to the free enzyme.
