Question

How does the shape of a competitive enzyme inhibitor determine its mechanism of inhibition? The inhibitor has a similar shape to the substrate. The inhibitor is bound by the active site of the enzyme along with the substrate. preventing the catalyzed reaction. The inhibitor has a different shape than the substrate. The inhibitor is bound by the active site of the enzyme along with the substrate, preventing the catalyzed reaction. The inhibitor has a similar shape to the substrate. The inhibitor is bound by the active site of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from being bound by the active site. The inhibitor has a different shape than the substrate. The inhibitor is bound by an allosteric site on the enzyme, preventing the substrate from being bound by the active site.

Explanation / Answer

(c) The inhibitor has a similar shape to the sustrate. The inhibitor is bound by the active site of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from being bound by the active site.
