Case 1: Blue line – Enzyme alone Red line-Enzyme + unknown compound 13 reaction rate substrate concentration The 4 graphs above represent the change in enzyme kinetics with the individual addition of different compounds that could be categorized as either: allosteric inhibitors, allosteric activators, competitive inhibitors, activators or non-competitive inhibitors. UNE Online _Case connections Review the graphs above. Each graph represents the activity of an enzyme and the enzyme + the addition of an unknown compound. By comparing the kinetics of the enzyme alone to the enzyme + unknown, determine what type of compound was added to each of the 4 different solutions to elicit the observed change.
