Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is correct about competitive inhibition?

  • The inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme
  • The substrate and the inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme (correct)
  • The substrate and the inhibitor bind to different sites on the enzyme
  • The inhibitor binds to the substrate, preventing it from binding to the enzyme

    • Which of the following is true about non-competitive inhibition?

  • It occurs when the inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme
  • It only occurs with irreversible inhibitors
  • It occurs when the inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme other than the active site (correct)
  • It can be overcome by adding more inhibitor

    • Which of the following is true about non-competitive inhibitors?

  • They bind reversibly to the active site
  • They increase the activity of the enzyme
  • They bind to a site on the enzyme other than the active site (correct)
  • They bind irreversibly to the active site

    • Which type of inhibition is seen when the substrate and inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme?
