enzyme inhibition Flashcards
1
Q
two major types of enzyme inhibition
A
competitive inhibitors
noncompetitive inhibitors
2
Q
competitive inhibitors bind to the
A
active site of an enzyme
3
Q
competitive inhibitors compete with the
A
substrate to bind the enzyme first
4
Q
noncompitive inhibtors bind to another part of an
A
enzyme, causing the enzyme and its active site to change shape
5
Q
noncompetitive inhibitors its more difficult for substrate to bind to the
A
altered active site and initiate the reaction
