The figure given below shows three velocitysubstrate concentration curves for an enzyme reaction. What do the curves a,ba, b, and c\mathrm{c} depict respectively? The figure given below shows three velocitysubstrate concentration curves for an enzyme reaction. What do the curves a,

Options

  1. Aa-normal enzyme reaction, b-competitive inhibition, c-non-competitive inhibition
  2. Ba-enzyme with an allosteric modulator added, b-normal enzyme activity, c-competitive inhibition
  3. Ca-enzyme with an allosteric stimulator, b-competitive inhibition added c-normal enzyme reaction
  4. Da-normal enzyme reaction, b-non-competitive inhibitor added c-allosteric inhibitor added

Correct answer

A. a-normal enzyme reaction, b-competitive inhibition, c-non-competitive inhibition

Step-by-step solution

Enzymes or biocatalysts are proteinaceous substance that are capable of catalysing chemical reactions of biological systems without themselves undergoing any change. In the graph aa shows normal enzyme reaction, graph bb shows competitive inhibition and graph cc shows non competitive inhibition. In competitive inhibition the inhibitor, which is a substrate analogue, combines reversibly to the free enzyme at the active site. In non competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to enzyme at a place other than substrate binding site. It results in destruction of enzyme activity.
