competitive and non competitive inhibitors

Question 1

inhibitors

Answer 1

limits enzyme activity + reduce ror

Question 2

competitive inhibitors

Answer 2

complementary to active site of enzymes so they compete with the substrate for the active site

Question 3

increasing the substrate concentration (for CI)

Answer 3

increase the rate of reaction more substrate molecules mean they are more likely to collide with enzymes and form enzyme-substrate complexes

Question 4

non competitive inhibitors

Answer 4

attaches to the enzyme at the allosteric site , which alters the shape of the active site and therefore prevents the substrate from binding to it since it’s no longer complementary

Question 5

increasing the substrate concentration (for NCI)

Answer 5

cannot increase the rate of reaction once more, as the shape of the active site of the enzyme remains changed and enzyme-substrate complexes are still unable to form
