With respect to drug-enzyme interaction, identify the wrong statement:
Options
- ANon-Competitive inhibitor binds to the allosteric site
- BAllosteric inhibitor changes the enzyme's active site
- CAllosteric inhibitor competes with the enzyme's active site
- DCompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme's active site
Correct answer
C. Allosteric inhibitor competes with the enzyme's active site
Step-by-step solution
Some drugs do not bind to the Enzyme's active site. These bind to a different site of enzyme which called allosteric site. This binding of inhibitor at allosteric site changes the shape of the active site in such a way that substrate can not recognize it. Such inhibitor is known as Non-competitive inhibitor.
