The degree of inhibition for an enzyme catalyzed reaction at a particular inhibitor concentration is independent of initial substrate concentration. The inhibition follows
-
- competitive inhibition
- mixed inhibition
- un-competitive inhibition
- non-competitive inhibition
Correct Option: D
A non- competitive inhibitor can combine with an enzyme molecule to produce a dead- end complex, regardless of whether a substrate molecule is bound or not. Hence, inhibitor binds at a different site from the substrate. Km (Michelis Menton) constant remains unchanged but the value of Vmax (maximum velocity) is altered.
