Questions and Answers

What type of inhibitor binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme?

  • Competitive inhibitor
  • Uncompetitive inhibitor
  • Non-competitive inhibitor (correct)
  • Irreversible inhibitor

What happens to the observed KM and Vmax in non-competitive inhibition?

  • Both KM and Vmax are reduced (correct)
  • KM is decreased, Vmax is increased
  • KM is unaffected, Vmax is decreased
  • KM is increased, Vmax is decreased

What type of inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds covalently to a residue within the active site of the enzyme?

  • Non-competitive inhibition
  • Competitive inhibition
  • Uncompetitive inhibition
  • Irreversible inhibition (correct)
