Which action would reverse the effects of a competitive inhibitor on an enzyme but not the effects of a noncompetitive or an irreversible inhibitor?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding substrate would increase the concentration of the substrate, making it more likely that it will bind to the active site of the enzyme instead of the competitive inhibitor. This would effectively reverse the effects of the competitive inhibitor. However, noncompetitive and irreversible inhibitors bind to sites on the enzyme other than the active site, so adding substrate would not affect their ability to inhibit the enzyme.
