Question

which among the following statement is correct for the binding of a reversible non competitive inhibitor to an enzyme​

Answer 1

Answer:

A competitive inhibitor is a reversible inhibition where the inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of an enzyme. While the inhibitor occupies the active site it prevents binding of the substrate to the enzyme. Many competitive inhibitors are compounds that resemble the substrate and combine with the enzyme to form an enzyme inhibitor complex, but without leading to catalysis. Even fleeting combinations of this type will reduce the efficiency of the enzyme. By taking into account the molecular geometry of inhibitors that resemble the substrate, we can reach conclusions about which parts of the normal substrate bind to the enzyme. Competitive inhibition can be analyzed quantitatively by steady-state kinetics.
