Correct option is A
Explanation-
A Dixon plot is a graphical method used in enzyme kinetics to determine the type of inhibition an enzyme is experiencing. It is specifically useful when studying how an inhibitor affects enzyme activity.
Axes in a Dixon Plot -
Axis What it Represents
X-axis Inhibitor concentration -
Y-axis Reciprocal of velocity -
The enzyme's velocity depends on:
The substrate concentration []
The inhibitor concentration []
When you plot 1/v vs. [I], the shape and intersection point of the lines (from multiple fixed
[] values) helps identify the inhibition type:
Types of Inhibition Identified Using Dixon Plot:
Inhibition Type Lines on Dixon Plot Do This
Competitive - Lines intersect above the x-axis, on left side
Non-competitive - Lines intersect on the x-axis (same Ki)
Uncompetitive - Lines are parallel
Final Matching:
X-axis (Column A): iv → [I] (inhibitor conc.)
Y-axis (Column B): i → 1/v (inverse velocity)
So, the correct answer is option a - Column A - iv, Column B - i
