Triclosan Is a Broad- Spectrum Antibacterial Agent Used in Many

Triclosan is a broad- spectrum antibacterial agent used in many household products. It is structurally similar to polychlorobiphenylol, a substrate that binds to the active site of the enzyme sulfotransferase. Based on these facts, you can conclude that triclosan most likely

A) acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor.
B) functions as an enzyme when sulfotransferase is absent.
C) is a competitive inhibitor.
D) lowers the activation energy of chemical reactions.
