A plant compound was recently found to act as an inhibitor of the enzyme CDK, a kinase that activates proteins needed for cell division. This compound is being tested as a potential chemotherapy drug. Experiments have shown that the compound acts by binding non-covalently outside of the CDK active site and that it does not alter the shape of the active site upon binding. Which of the following can you conclude based on this information?
