In competitive inhibition
In competitive inhibition
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Inhibitor binds to active site
The active site has a residue which helps in the attachment of substrate. The substrate molecules form a temporary bond with the enzyme at the active site. A molecule similar to substrate competes with the substrate for the active site. Such molecules are known as the inhibitor. The presence of the inhibitor decreases availability of the active site for the substrate and further decreases the rate of reaction. This inhibition is known as competitive inhibition.
