Options
- AEnzyme inhibitors are proteins that enhance the catalytic activity of enzymes.
- BEnzyme inhibitors are chemicals that destroy enzymes and prevent their activity.
- CEnzyme inhibitors can block the binding site thereby preventing the binding of the substrate to the active sit
- DEnzyme inhibitors are substrates that are converted into products by enzymes.
Correct answer
C. Enzyme inhibitors can block the binding site thereby preventing the binding of the substrate to the active sit
