Step 1
In a Lineweaver-Burke plot, the x-intercept is $-1/K_m$ and the y-intercept is $1/V_{max}$. An inhibitor that alters $K_m$ is a competitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor increases the $K_m$ but does not affect $V_{max}$. Show more…

In the Lineweaver-Burke plot to the right, the normal activity of an enzyme is plotted. It is also plotted in the presence of two different inhibitors. Which of the curves illustrates the activity of the enzyme in the presence of an inhibitor that alters the Km?

The kinetic data for an enzymatic reaction in the presence and absence of inhibitors is shown below: Identify the curve that corresponds to each of the following respectively: no inhibitor, competitive inhibitor, mixed inhibitor. The correct answer is:
Jakob W.
Lineweaver-Burk plot of the enzyme with increasing amounts of substrate in the absence and presence of the inhibitor is shown below. Graph A (red dots): x-intercept = -0.4, y-intercept = 0.35. Graph B (blue dots): x-intercept = -0.4, y-intercept = 0.2. (i) Which graph (A or B) indicates an enzymatic reaction with inhibitor? (ii) Which type of inhibitor is it? Give a brief explanation. (iii) Calculate the Vmax of the enzymatic reaction without inhibitor. Shows the steps of calculation and unit in your answer.
