Question

Which of the followings are true about the active site of an enzyme?

A. It binds the substrate

B. It is the regulation site of the enzyme

C. Inhibitor binds active sites under competitive inhibition

D. The energy released by active site-substrate binding can lower the activation energy

It has multiple answers

Answer 1

There are multiple answers

A) It binds to the substrate

C Inhibitor binds to active site under competitive inhibition

D. The energy released by active site-substrate binding can lower the activation energy

The active site is the lock to the enzyme which acts like a key and hence it is the binding site for the enzyme

A competitive ihibitior acts by competing with the substrate which in this case is the enzyme for the active site on the binding region.

The energy released by the binding facilitates the formation of the product by lowering the active energy and hence the energy barrier to the formation of the product
