medal plz

Answer 3

The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from entering the active site of the enzyme or hinder the enzyme from catalyzing a reaction. So it's more like deactivating an enzyme ! I hope u understand this !

Answer 4

Or the inhibitor can bind somewhere on the enzyme other than its active site - and induce a change in the enzyme's conformation that distorts the active site and makes it unable to bind the substrate.

Witty - direct answers aren't witty, and Rushwr - allosteric interactions rock.
