A substance which binds at the active site of the enzyme but does not result in the formation of the products is called________________?
Correct answer: C. Competitive inhibitor
- A. Irreversible inhibitor
- B. Reversible inhibitor
- C. Competitive inhibitor
- D. Non-competitive inhibitor
Explanation
A competitive inhibitor resembles the substrate and binds to the enzyme's active site, preventing the substrate from forming products. A common mistake is choosing a reversible inhibitor, but that describes the strength of binding rather than the specific location of binding.
