Question

You are investigating a specific compound known to inhibit the activity of an enzyme. You hypoyhesize that the compund is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme's activity. to test your hypothesis, you design an experiment where you add increasing amounts of the enzyme's substrate to a solution containinf the enzyme, and then you test the reaction rate. which of the following graphs represents the predicted results of your experiment, based on your hypothesis.

Graph A: has 2 lines, one without inhibutor and one with inhibitor. Both start at zero and end at the same line.

Graph B; has 2 lines, one without inhibutor and one with inhibitor. Both start at zero but end differently. the with inhibitor at slow and the without inhibitor at fast.

Explanation / Answer

The general graph of competitive inhibitor versus non-competitive inhibitor is as follows:

Thus, based on my hypothesis the correct option is (1) Graph A: has 2 lines, one without inhibitor and one with inhibitor. Both start at zero and end at the same line.
