Which of the following statement is correct regarding enzyme inhibition?

Question

Which of the following statement is correct regarding enzyme inhibition? (A) Competitive inhibition is seen when a substrate competes with an enzyme for binding to an inhibitor protein (B) Competititve inhibition is seen when the substrate and inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme (C) Non-competitive inhibition of an enzyme can be overcome by adding large amount of substrate (D) Non-competitive inhibitior often bind to the enzyme reversible

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Competitive inhibition is a reversible inhibition where inhibitor competes with normal substrate for the active site and binds with it. This type of inhibition is due to the substrate analogue.
