What is a competitive inhibitor? |
An inhibitor which binds to the active site of the enzyme |
|
|
What is a non competitive inhibitor? |
An inhibitor which binds to the enzyme at a position other than the active site. |
|
|
Competitive inhibitors can occupy the active site, how? |
They have a molecular shape similar to that of the substrate. |
|
|
Why does concentration of comp-inhibitor and substrate matter? |
The concentration determines the effect of enzyme activity, the more substrates, the reduced effect of the comp-inhibitor , inhibitors not permanently bound and a substrate or inhibitor can take its place , concentration determines that. |
