E. Indicate whether each of the following statements describes a: - reversible competitive inhibitor - reversible noncompetitive inhibitor -irreversible inhibitor An inhibitor that decreases enzyme activity by binding to a site on the enzyme other than the active site. An inhibitor that has a shape and charge distribution similar to that of the enzyme's normal substrate. The inhibitor and substrate can bind to the enzyme simultaneously An inhibitor that inactivates enzymes by forming a strong covalent bond at the enzyme active site. Both inhibitor and substrate bind at the active site on a random basis. The inhibitor effect cannot be reversed by the addition of more substrate. Inhibitor structure does not have to resemble substrate structure.
