The reason for "drug induced poisoning" is
Options
- Abinding reversibly at the active site of the enzyme
- Bbringing conformational changes in the biding site of enzyme
- Cbinding at the allosteric sites of the enzyme
- Dbinding irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme
Correct answer
C. binding at the allosteric sites of the enzyme
Step-by-step solution
Binding at the allosteric sties of the enzyme changes the conformation of enzyme so that affinity of the substrate for the active site is reduced.
