Question

1. in the figure at right, a non - competitive inhibitor would bind at: a. a b. b c. c d. d

Explanation:

Non - competitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site on the enzyme, not the active site. In the figure, the active site is where the substrate (represented by A) binds. Sites other than the active site are potential allosteric binding sites for non - competitive inhibitors. Among the options, D is likely to be an allosteric site.

Answer:

D. D
