The answer is: a non-competitive inhibitor.

Explanation: A non-competitive inhibitor is a regulatory molecule that inhibits an enzyme's activity by binding to a site other than the active site. This binding changes the enzyme's shape, making it less effective or inactive, regardless of the concentration of the substrate. This is different from competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor competes with the substrate for binding to the active site.
