The complex can then convert into enzyme (\(E\)) and product (\(P\)).2. **Enzyme Inhibition:** - **Inhibitor Binding Steps:** - Inhibitor (\(I\)) can bind to the free enzyme \(E\) forming the enzyme-inhibitor complex (\(EI\)) characterized by the dissociation constant \(K_I\). - \(E + I \rightleftharpoons EI\) - **Mixed Inhibition:** - The inhibitor (\(I\)) can also bind to the enzyme-substrate complex (\(ES\)) to form \(ESI\) characterized by a different dissociation constant \(K'_I\). - \(ES + I \rightleftharpoons ESI\)### Explanation of Symbols:- \(E\): Enzyme- \(S\): Substrate- \(P\): Product- \(I\): Inhibitor- \(ES\): Enzyme-Substrate Complex- \(EI\): Enzyme-Inhibitor Complex- \(ESI\): Enzyme-Substrate-Inhibitor Complex- \(k_1, k_{-1}, k_2\): Rate constants for the respective steps- \(K_I, K'_I\): Inhibition constantsThis diagram illustrates the dynamic interactions between enzyme, substrate, and inhibitor, providing insight into how inhibitors can affect enzyme activity by binding to different forms of the enzyme, leading to competitive and non-competitive inhibition mechanisms.

Competitive Inhibitor:- A competitive inhibitor structurally resembles with Substrate and competes with the substrate for the complex formation with the enzyme. Uncompetitive inhibitor:- Uncompetitive inhibitors are those which bind only with the enzyme-substrate complex but not with the Enzyme. Mix inhibitor:- Mix inhibitors are those which undergo both Uncompetitive and competitive inhibition. Non-competitive inhibitor:- It is a special case of Mix inhibitor.The above reaction undergoes both competitive and uncompetitive inhibition. The equilibrium going through KI is a competitive reaction where the inhibitor binds with the enzyme only. The equilibrium going through KI' is an uncompetitive reaction where the inhibitor binds with only enzyme-substrate complex. Mix inhibitors are those which undergo both competitive and uncompetitive reactions. The rate equation of the mix inhibitions is, Rate=VmaxSαKM+α'Swhere α= 1+IK1 and α' =1+IK1' I = concentration of substrate Now, non-competitive is a special case of mix inhibitor, where, α=α' and KI= KI' but we don't know whether they can be equal or not. So, we can't say whether it is a pure non-competitive inhibitor or not. So, This model is a mixed inhibitor. (option C)
