Question

Inhibition of enzyme activity by a molecule, which reversibly modifies the structure of the active site of the enzyme is called : (A) competitive inhibition (B) non-competitive reversible inhibition (C) allosteric inhibition (D) none of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Allosteric inhibition is the inhibition of enzyme activity by binding of an effector molecules to site (allosteric site) other than active site.
