Competitive and noncompetitive enzyme inhibitors differ with respect to
A) their pH.
B) the temperature at which they work best.
C) their energies of activation.
D) the precise location on the enzyme to which they bind.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competitive and noncompetitive enzyme inhibitors differ primarily in the location on the enzyme to which they bind. Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of the enzyme, competing directly with the substrate, whereas noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a different site, altering the enzyme's activity without competing for the active site.
