Practice question
Question
The following plot represents the Lineweaver-Burk equation of an enzymatic reaction both in the presence and the absence of inhibitor. Here, V is the velocity of reaction and S is the substrate concentration. The nature of inhibition shown in the plot is
Explanation
Biologically, enzyme kinetics operates via substrate binding and catalytic efficiency determine reaction rates. Thus Competitive is appropriate since it reflects active-site specificity and regulation, reinforcing core concepts taught in biochemistry.
