Competitive or noncompetitive inhibitor of enzyme reaction

You are studying compound X and are trying to determine whether it is a competitive or a non-competitive inhibitor of an enzyme reaction catalyzed by the enzyme zyrase. Discuss how you will set up your experiment and what results you would expect. Don’t forget to include your hypothesis and mention how you will use enzyme kinetics graphs. Also, discuss how vmax and Km might change if the inhibitor is competitive or non-competitive.
