Which of the following best describes an example of how an enzyme inhibitor can work in a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme?
(A)The enzyme inhibitor attacks and destroys the enzyme, which prevents the enzyme from helping in the reaction.
(B)The enzyme inhibitor binds to the products of the reaction, which makes the work of the enzyme unproductive.
(C)The enzyme inhibitor catalyzes the reverse reaction, which counteracts the work of the enzyme.
(D)The enzyme inhibitor fits into the enzyme’s active site, which prevents the enzyme from catalyzing the reaction.
i THINK IT'S c.

D acturly discribe the reversible competitive inhibition but the enzym still work. The chances for the right reaction to be catalyzed drops, also what we can see if we follow Michaelis-Menten model that KM drops. but don't effect Vmax
