Upon analysis, it is determined that the interaction between an inhibitor and an enzyme involves the formation of bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in adjacent molecules. Which of the following is true regarding this molecule?

If an enzymatic reaction is interrupted by the presence of a non-competitive inhibitor, which of the following best describes how the reaction kinetics will be effected?

There are at least four types of glucose transporter in the body. GLUT1 and GLUT3 are located in most tissues including the brain and the red blood cells. These glucose transporters rapidly take up glucose from the blood but have the lowest value. GLUT2 is commonly found in the liver and the pancreas. GLUT2 has a lower affinity for glucose but has the highest value. GLUT4 is common in skeletal tissues and in adipose tissues. This transporter is normally not active for uptake unless stimulated by insulin or during exercise.

Suppose there is a molecule that is able to lower the of the enzyme. What type of regulation would this molecule exhibit?

Which of the following is true regarding noncompetitive inhibition?

When inhibition takes place at a site that is not the active site, this is called __________ inhibition.

A molecule binds to the allosteric site of an enzyme. What can you conclude about this molecule?

I. The molecule cannot be a competitive inhibitor

II. The molecule can increase the activity of the enzyme

III. The molecule will decrease the affinity between enzyme and substrate
