The reason for "drug induced poisoning" is:
Options
- Abinding irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme.
- Bbinding at the allosteric sites of the enzyme.
- Cbinding reversibly at the active site of the enzyme.
- Dbrining conformational change in the binding site of enzyme.
Correct answer
B. binding at the allosteric sites of the enzyme.
Step-by-step solution
The reason for drug induced poisoning is the binding of drug, irreversibly, to the active site of the enzyme. If this happens, then body degenerates the enzyme and releases a new enzyme.
