Answer» Right choice is (a) Reversible inhibitors To elaborate: Irreversible inhibitors are those that bind very tightly to an enzyme, often by forming a covalent bond to one of its amino acid residues. Reversible inhibitors bind loosely to an enzyme and thus are readily displaced. Competitive inhibitors are reversible inhibitors of enzyme that compete with a substrate for access to the active site of the enzyme. |
