Complete this vocabulary exercise relating to the three types of enzyme inhibitors. Drag the words on the left to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Each word is used only once. WORDS: active site, substrate, irreversible, noncompetitive, competitive, enzyme.
1. A inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate.
2. A inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site.
3. Usually, a inhibitor forms a covalent bond with an amino acid side group within the active site, which prevents the substrate from entering the active site or prevents catalytic activity.
4. The competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the on the enzyme.
5. When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme, the shape of the is distorted.
6. Enzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its .
1. A competitive inhibitor has a structure that is similar to the substrate that can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate.
2. A noncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme that is not the active site.
3. Usually , a irreversible inhibitor forms a covalent bond with an amino acid side group within the active site,which prevents the substrate from entering the active site or prevents catalytic activity.
4. The competetive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site on the enzyme.
5. When the noncompetetitve inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme,the shape of the enzyme is distorted.
6. Enzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its substrate.
