Which of the following is not true for a competitive inhibitor?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "It occupies the active site" is true for a competitive inhibitor, as it competes with the substrate for binding to the active site. The statement "It cannot be converted to products" is not necessarily true for a competitive inhibitor, as it may still be able to undergo the reaction but at a slower rate. The statement "It has a structure similar to the substrate" is also true for a competitive inhibitor, as this allows it to bind to the active site. The statement "Increasing the substrate concentration can reverse competitive inhibition" is also true, as this will increase the likelihood of the substrate binding to the active site. However, the statement "It binds to the enzyme at a site remote from the active site" is not true for a competitive inhibitor, as this is characteristic of a non-competitive inhibitor.
