An enzyme catalyses conversion of substrate S to product P. Without inhibitor, Vmax is 120 μmol/min and the Michaelis constant is 4 mmol/L. In the presence of inhibitor X, Vmax remains 120 μmol/min but the apparent Michaelis constant increases to 16 mmol/L. Which mechanism best describes inhibitor X?
