Which of the following statements regarding enzyme inhibition is correct?
Q. Which of the following statements regarding enzyme inhibition is correct?
- Competitive inhibition is seen when a substrate competes with an enzyme for binding to an inhibitor protein
- Non-competitive inhibitors often bind to the enzyme irreversibly
- Competitive inhibition is seen when the substrate and the inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme
- Non-competitive inhibition of an enzyme can be overcome by adding large amount of substrate
Answer: Competitive inhibition is seen when the substrate and the inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme
