Interpretation: The given statement, whether describes a reversible competitive inhibitor, a reversible noncompetitive inhibitor, or an irreversible inhibitor has to be stated.
Concept introduction: A molecule whose shape and charge distribution sufficiently resembles an enzyme substrate is known as a competitive enzyme inhibitor.
