The type of inhibition in which the inhibitor has no structural similarity to substrate and combines with the enzyme at other than the active site is called:
Correct answer: C. Non-competitive and reversible inhibition
- A. Irreversible inhibition
- B. Competitive inhibition
- C. Non-competitive and reversible inhibition
- D. Reversible inhibition
Explanation
Non-competitive inhibition is when the inhibitor binds to another part of the enzyme, thus denaturing the active site, and inhibiting the reaction. This is frequently used by the body to monitor and manage enzyme controlled reactions.

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.
