What can cause an enzyme to denature? b. Will a denatured enzyme still function? 4. How does concentration of substrate plays a role in increasing the rate of reaction?
Match each of the following methods of enzyme inhibition with the correct descriptions. 1. Competitive inhibition: an inhibitor binds to the enzyme's active site. 2. Non-competitive inhibition: an inhibitor binds to the enzyme's allosteric site. 3. Feedback inhibition: a product of the reaction inhibits the enzyme.
