Which one of the following statements regarding
enzyme inhibition is correct?
(a) Competitive inhibition is seen when a substrate
competes with an enzyme for binding to an
inhibitor protein.
(b) Competitive inhibition is seen when the
substrate and the inhibitor compete for the
active site on the enzyme.
(c) Non-competitive inhibition of an enzyme can be
overcome by adding large amount of substrate.
(d) Non-competitive inhibitors often bind to the
enzyme irreversibly.
