In uncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds with:
Correct answer: C. Allosteric side
- A. Enzyme
- B. Substrate
- C. Allosteric side
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
c) ES-complex:This option is correct. Uncompetitive inhibition is characterized by the binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme-substrate complex (ES-complex). The inhibitor recognizes the ES-complex and binds specifically to it, altering the enzyme's active site's conformation. This binding prevents the release of the product and, in some cases, can also prevent the release of the enzyme from the complex.

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.
