Identifying inhibitors involves several analytical techniques, such as: - Spectroscopy: Techniques like FTIR or NMR can identify functional groups and molecular structures of inhibitors. - Chromatography: Techniques such as GC or HPLC can separate and identify different components in the reaction mixture. - Mass spectrometry: This can provide detailed molecular information about inhibitors. - Kinetic studies: Monitoring reaction rates can help identify the presence of inhibitors through changes in reaction kinetics.
