What are cofactors in enzymes?

Activators that bind to the allosteric site of enzymes

Substrates that enzymes act upon

Nonprotein components required for enzyme activity (correct)

Inhibitors that bind to the active site of enzymes

What are coenzymes?

Vitamins required for enzyme function (correct)

Inhibitors that bind to the allosteric site of enzymes

Activators that bind to the active site of enzymes

Substrates that enzymes act upon

What is the difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors?

Competitive inhibitors cause a conformational change in the enzyme, while noncompetitive inhibitors do not

Both a and c (correct)

Competitive inhibitors prevent substrate binding, while noncompetitive inhibitors do not

Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site, while noncompetitive inhibitors bind to the allosteric site
