Statements about Enzyme Inhibitor Drugs are given below : (A) There are Competitive and Non-competitive inhibitor drugs. (B) These can bind at the active sites and allosteric sites. (C) Competitive Drugs are allosteric site blocking drugs. (D) Non-competitive Drugs are active site blocking drugs. Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AA , D only
- BA , C only
- CA , B only
- DA , B , C only
Correct answer
C. A , B only
Step-by-step solution
Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that interact with enzymes (temporary or permanent) in some way and reduce the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction or prevent enzymes to work in a normal manner. Enzyme inhibitors can be competitive inhibitors (inhibit the attachment of substrate on active site of enzyme) and non-competitive inhibitor (changes the active site of enzyme after binding at allosteric site.) So, statement A and B are correct. But statement C and D are incorrect.
