Question

With it's effect On an Enzyme catalyzes behavior , a competitive inhibitor

Answer 1

Competitive inhibition acts by decreasing the number of enzymemolecules available to bind the substrate. ... In fact, the inhibitor and substrate don't affect one another's binding to the enzyme at all. However, when the inhibitor is bound, theenzyme cannot catalyze its reaction to produce a product.

Answer 2

• A competitive inhibitor could bind to an allosteric site of the free enzyme and prevent substrate binding, as long as it does not bind to the allosteric site when the substrate is bound. ...
• This means the binding affinity for the enzyme is decreased, but it can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
