Enzymes

Question	Answer
Competitive inhibitor	▶︎ [C.i] binds preferentially > active site of enzyme ▶︎ [substrate] prevented from binding > active site of enzyme ▶︎ b.d [substrate] into [product] = no longer catalysed ▶︎ rate of production [product] = greatly reduced
Non-Competitive inhibitor	▶︎ binds allosteric site, away from active site ▶︎ change of conformation of a.s ▶︎ prevent substrate from binding
Enzyme inhibitor	▶︎ inhibits enzymatic activity ▶︎ reducing rate of reactions
X optimal pH range	▶︎ extreme pH changes ▶︎ break ionic bonds/ H- bonds altered ▶︎ change shape of active site ▶︎ prevent substrate binding => enzyme
