The influence of substrate concentration on an enzyme-catalysed reaction was recorded under three separate conditions: • without inhibitor • with inhibitor X • with inhibitor Y. The graph presents the data. Which statement is correct?
- AX is a competitive inhibitor which binds away from the active site of the enzyme.
- BX is a non-competitive inhibitor which has a similar shape to the substrate.
- CY is a competitive inhibitor which has a similar shape to the substrate.
- DY is a non-competitive inhibitor which binds away from the active site of the enzyme.
