Question

Map d Sapling Learning macmillan learning Classify the following specific inhibitors or inhibitor characteristics according to one of three types of inhibition: reversible competitive, reversible noncompetitive, or irreversible Note: If you answer any part of this question incorrectly, a single red X will appear indicating that one or more of the phrases are sorted incorrectly Reversible competitive Reversible noncompetitive Irreversible inhibitor structure resembles substrate structure inhibitor binds covalently and permanently at site other than active site inhibitor binds noncovalently at site other than active site inhibitor binds noncovalently at active site

Explanation / Answer

Reversible competitive:

inhibitor structure resembles substrate structure ---- there is a competition between the substrate and inhibitor for binding since they have similar structure.

Inhibitor binds non covalently at the active site ---- non covalent binding means its not permanent, inhibitor is binding to the active site means its having a competition with substrate binding.

Reversible noncompetitive: inhibitor binds non covalently at the site other than active site --- noncovalently means not permanently bound, since inhibitor is binding at site other than active site there is no competition between the substrate and inhibitor (noncompetitive)

Irreversible: inhibitor binds covalently and permanently at the site other than active site --- since it binds permanently its Irreversible binding.
