High School Biology › Understanding Inhibitors
What inhibitor type prevents catalysis by noncovalently binding to an enzyme's active site?
Which of the following statements is true concerning competitive inhibitors?
If a noncompetitive inhibitor in solution were affecting enzyme activity, then what would be the effect of adding additional substrate to the enzyme solution?
Some enzymes have a direct function of catalyzing a reaction within a cell. Other enzymes simply change their fellow enzymes.
Enzyme X is found in a certain cell and is normally active. At a certain point, the cell creates enzyme X inhibitor, which inhibits enzyme X. What can be concluded about the cell following the synthesis of the inhibitor?
An inhibitor changes an enzyme's function by which of the following mechanisms?
An alien cell forms the byproduct, Compoound A. Compound A acts as an inhibitor for the formation of Protien B. Scientists discovered that if they increased the concentration of the building blocks for Protein B, the inhibitory properties of Compound A could be negated. Which process explains this mechanism?
