Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 14RQ
An allosteric inhibitor does which of the following?
- Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, increasing its affinity for substrate binding
- Binds to the active site and blocks it from binding substrate
- Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, decreasing its affinity for the substrate
- Binds directly to the active site and mimics the substrate.

Which of the following is characteristic of competitive inhibitors?
the inhibitor could bind to the active site or to an allosteric site on the enzyme.
the enzyme will mistake the inhibitor for its substrate, so that the inhibitor will
end up covalently bound to the enzyme.
the inhibitor can bind only AFTER the substrate has bound (i.e. it binds only to
the ES complex).
the inhibitor can bind reversibly at the substrate-binding site (the active site).
the inhibitor will lower the characteristic Vmax of the enzyme.
Classify each specific inhibitor or inhibitor characteristic according to one of two types of inhibition: competitive or noncompetitive.
Please select all of the following statements that are true.
Cofactors involve the use of vitamins to assist enzymes
Competitive inhibitors bind to the same active site as the substrate.
When the substrate binds to the enzyme the reaction rate increases.
Non-competitive inhibitors can act as both inhibitors and activators.

- Determine whether the following statements describe a reversible competitive inhibitor, a reversible noncompetitive inhibitor, or an irreversible inhibitor. Both the inhibitor and the substrate cannot bind to the enzyme at the same time. The structure of the inhibitor is similar to that of the substrate. The addition of more substrate can reverse the inhibitor effect It forms a covalent bond with the active site.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are characteristics of catabolic metabolic pathways? (Choose all correct answers). Overall oxidation of initial substrates so redox reactions involve use of NAD+ as oxidizing agent, converted to NADH. Large initial substrates are broken down to smaller final products. Overall reduction of intial substrates so redox reactions involve use of NADPH as reducing agent, converted to NADP+. The pathways are overall exergonic (negative delta G). Net production of ATP as a result of the pathway. Essentially irreversiblearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding competitive enzyme inhibition is correct? O The substrate and the inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme. The substrate competes with an enzyme for binding to an inhibitor O The inhibition effect is always irreversible. The inhibitor binds to site other than the active site.arrow_forward
- When the enzyme hexokinase binds to glucose and ATP it undergoes a conformational change. All of the following are true about this enzyme-substrate binding EXCEPT: The active site changes shape so that it binds more tightly to the substrates The substrates are optimally positioned for the reaction to occur The substrates become contorted or strained, which increases their reactivity The activation energy of the reaction increasesarrow_forwardMark any/all that apply to uncompetitive inhibition: Group of answer choices: None of these is correct. The inhibitor does not resemble the substrate. The inhibitor can bind to both enzyme alone AND enzyme that is bound by substrate. Inhibition can be overcome by the addition of more substrate. KM/Vmax are equal for both the inhibited and the uninhibited reaction.arrow_forwardCompetitive inhibitors bind to the active site of the enzyme. None of the answers listed are correct. bind with substrate molecules. change the shape of the enzyme by binding at the allosteric site. O act like the active site and take substrates away from the enzyme.arrow_forward
- An enzyme facilitate catalysis by formation of ester bond with an alcoholic substrate. Which amino acid residues can facilitate such mechanism of catalysis? Select the correct response: Cys and Met Lys and Arg Ser and Tyr Glu and Asparrow_forwardIn noncompetitive inhibition, can both the substrate and the inhibitor bind at the same time? I know the inhibitor changes the enzyme's conformation so it would lower the product formation, but what if the substrate were to bind first, and then the inhibitor binded afterwards?arrow_forwardClassify the items as competitive or noncompetitive inhibitors for control of enzyme action. Bind to the allosteric site on the enzyme Not influenced by the concentration of substrate Resemble the substrate Do not resemble thhe substrate Bind to active site of the enzymearrow_forward
- Which statement is false of a competitive inhibitor? It irreversibly inhibits the enzyme by chemically modifying a group at the active site. It competes with substrate for binding to the active site. Its effects can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration. It often resembles the substrate for the enzyme it inhibits.arrow_forwardAn inhibitor was added to an enzyme and the expected rate of the reaction was not detected and the substrate was not utilized at all. This inhibitor is (choose one answer only): Is un-competitive, meaning the inhibitor binds to a site near the active site. Is competitive, meaning the inhibitor binds directly to the same active site as the subtrate. Is non-competitive, meaning the inhibitor binds to site other than the active site as the subtrate. Is irreversible, meaning the inhibitor binds covalently to the enzyme keeping the enzyme inactive permanently.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements about an enzyme active site is true or false. It is the location where substrate molecules are produced. It always has a fixed, rigid geometry. It always has a geometrical shape exactly complementary to that of substrate. It always accommodates several structurally related substrates. It is the location where substrate molecules are converted to product molecules. It always has a shape that has a degree of flexibility to it. It always accommodates only one specific substrate.arrow_forward
