What is active site of an enzyme?

Identify the wrong statements (a) The substrate binds to active site of enzyme and not fitting into active site (b) The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape (c ) Chemical bonds of substrate break down not to form now enzyme product complex (d) The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and run through catalytic cycle once again

Assertion (A): Competitive inhibitors compete with natural substrate for their attachment on the active sites of enzymes. Reason (R) : In competitive inhibition, inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme.

What is the role of competitive inhibitor during enzyme action? (a) It enhances enzyme action (b) It declines enzyme action (c) It alters the active site of the enzyme and prevents the binding of substrate (d) it inhibits breaking of chemical bond of the substrate

Arrange the steps of catalytic action of an enzyme in order and select the correct option I. The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and the enzyme is free to bind to another substrate II. The active site of enzyme is in close proximity of the substrate and breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate III. The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape fitting more tightly around substrate. IV. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme
