enzymes: Non-Competitive Inhibitors:

Question 1

What are Non-Competitive Inhibitors?

Answer 1

= does not bind to the active site
= binds to a different site on enzyme
= allosteric site
= causes the teritary structure of the enzyme to change so shape of active site changes and does not complement the substrate
= reduces rate of reaction

Question 2

What does this mean for the substrate molecule?

Answer 2

= Cannot bind to the active site
= to form an enzyme substrate complex
=

Question 3

Does Non-Competitive Inhibitors have a similar shape to the substrate?

Answer 3

= no
