The activity of an enzyme is analyzed and it is found to have a Km value of 2.551 mM and a Vmax value of 0.174 mM/min. An inhibitor is introduced to the system, and the activity of the enzyme is re-analyzed. In the presence of this inhibitor, the enzyme is found to have a KM value of 2.551 mM and a Vmax value of 0.133 mM/min. Based on the observed change in the enzyme’s activity, what kind of inhibitor do you believe is present in the system and why?
