Competitive inhibitors and real substrate often have similar:
Correct answer: A. Structure
- A. Structure
- B. Chemical properties
- C. Physical properties
- D. None of these
Explanation
Competitive Inhibitors and substrates have similar structures. Due to the similarity in structure, competitive inhibitors can compete with substrates for binding at an active site, which only allows specific structured substrates to attach.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
