What kind of inhibitor was used in the experiment

Reference no: EM13991056

An enzyme has a K_M of 20 µM and a V_max of 50 mmoles of product/minute/µg of enzyme. After exposure to an inhibitor and analysis on a Lineweaver - Burk plot the following values are obtained: -1/ K_M = - 0.05 liters/µmole and 1/ V_max = 0.04 (mmoles of product/minute/µg of enzyme). What kind of inhibitor was used in the experiment?
