Which of the following statements is correct about competitive inhibition?
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?
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?
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)
