Drugs which inhibit the attachment of substrate on active site of enzymers by binding to allosteric site are called

Options

A. Enzyme inhibitors
B. Noncompetitive inhibitors
C. Both (1) and (2)
D. Competitive inhibitors

Answer

C

Explanation

All the enzymes inhibitors (competitive as well as noncompetitive inhibitors) inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme by inhibiting the attachment of natural substrate on active site of enzymes. However, only non-competitive inhibitor changes the shape of the active site of enzyme after binding at allosteric site.
