A group of scientists is working with noncompetitive inhibition of enzymes. Which of the following systems might they study as part of their research? a) Methotrexate binds to the active site of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which occupies the active site and prevents the binding of folic acid. b) Alanine binds to an active site on pyruvate kinase and creates a change in configuration at a second active site, which becomes unable to accept pyruvate. c) 2,3-BPG is a substance that binds to hemoglobin, stabilizing it in its inactive form and preventing the active site from being available to accept oxygen molecules. d) Histidine binds to the active site of ATP-phosphorylase, inhibiting its ability to bind to ATP molecules and preventing the series of reactions that form histidine in biological systems.
