Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By increasing the concentration of the correct substrate, we can outcompete the inhibitor and allow the reaction to proceed. This will increase the likelihood of the substrate binding to the active site of the enzyme rather than the inhibitor. Adding a non-competitive inhibitor or an allosteric activator would not overcome the interference caused by the competitive inhibitor. Decreasing the concentration of the correct substrate would reduce the overall reaction rate, and may not necessarily alleviate the issue caused by the competitive inhibitor.
