Step 1
This type of inhibition can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate. Noncompetitive inhibition, on the other hand, occurs when a molecule binds to the enzyme at a location other than the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and Show more…

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.
