Question

A competitive inhibitor binds ___, whereas an uncompetitive inhibitor binds ___. Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices only to the enzyme; only to the enzyme-substrate complex to either the enzyme or the enzyme-substrate complex; only to the enzyme-substrate complex only to the enzyme; to either the enzyme or the enzyme-substrate complex only to the enzyme-substrate complex; only to the enzyme

Answer 1

Option A, only to the enzyme; only to the enzyme-substrate complex

Step-by-step explanation:

In un competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to an allosteric site of a enzyme which is usually present at the enzymes substrate complex.

While in competitive inhibition, an inhibitor binds to the enzyme at its active site and hence restricts the substrate from binding

Hence, option A is correct
