Assertion : Competitive inhibitor is also called as substrate analogue. Reason : It resembles the enzymes in structure.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Competitive inhibition is the inhibition of enzyme activity by the presence of a chemical that competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme. The inhibitor chemical is called substrate analogue or competitive inhibitor. It resembles the substrate in structure and gets bound up to the active site of the enzyme without getting transformed by the latter. (c) : Competitive inhibition is the inhibition of enzyme activity by the presence of a chemical that competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme. The inhibitor chemical is called substrate analogue or competitive inhibitor. It resembles the substrate in structure and gets bound up to the active site of the enzyme without getting transformed by the latter.
