What is the alternative way in which drugs inhibit the attachment of substrates to enzyme active sites?
Options
- AThey enhance substrate binding.
- BThey block the allosteric site.
- CThey change the shape of the active site.
- DThey have no impact on substrate recognition.
Correct answer
C. They change the shape of the active site.
Step-by-step solution
Some drugs do not bind to the enzyme's active site but instead bind to a different site called the allosteric site, which changes the shape of the active site.
