A) the need for a coenzyme
B) allosteric inhibition
C) noncompetitive inhibition
D) competitive inhibition

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competitive inhibition can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration as this allows for more substrate molecules to compete with the inhibitor for binding to the enzyme's active site. This increases the probability of substrate molecules successfully binding and the reaction proceeding. However, increasing substrate concentration does not overcome the need for a coenzyme, allosteric inhibition, or noncompetitive inhibition.
