The effect of competitive inhibitor on enzyme activity is such that it affects which of the following?
PMC Sample 2
Biology
Enzymes
Elimination Tool:
By directly competing with the substrate for binding to the enzyme’s active site, a competitive inhibitor reduces enzyme activity. Because the substrate is prevented from interacting with the enzyme, the rate of product synthesis decreases when the competitive inhibitor binds to the active site.
