The competitive inhibitors have structural similarity with:
Correct answer: C. Substrate
- A. Active site
- B. Binding site
- C. Substrate
- D. Coenzyme
Explanation
Non-competitive reversible inhibitors block the allosteric site of enzyme, while competitive reversible inhibitors have structural similarity with substrate, and they bind active sites of enzyme.

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.
