14 Some inhibitors of enzyme reactions bind to the enzyme / substrate complex.
Which statements about this type of inhibition are correct?
1 The active site changes shape
2 The inhibitor is non-competitive.
3 The initial rate of reaction is reduced.
4 maximum rate of reaction (Vmax) is increased.
A 1 and 2 only B 1and3only C 2and3only D 2,3and4only
How is the answer C?
I don't understand that if the active site is not changing shape then how is the non competitive inhibitor causing the rate of reaction to decline?
