Not to answer this question, let's talk about inhibitors.
00:03
In this case, it says which statements are true of an inhibitor that binds the active side of an insect? so if this is your enzyme like this, and here is your substrate.
00:18
So this substrate normally binds to this enzyme, okay? and well, you're going to have here a product.
00:24
And what happens with an inhibitor that binds to the side of this enzyme? it means here.
00:29
Well, the inhibitor is going to be something like this.
00:32
It's going to be something like this.
00:36
It is going to block the side of the side of binding of the substrate with the enzyme and hence the substrate is not going to be able to bind here.
00:48
So let's look at the options.
00:49
Option a is adding more substrate can reduce the effect of these inhibitors, and this is true.
00:57
Because if you have a binding of the inhibitor here and at the binding side of the enzyme, i think if you add more substrate, it means more.
01:06
Of this blue molecule here, eventually the high levels of this substrate are going to replace or are going to displace the inhibitor and they are going to be able to bind again to the enzyme.
01:18
So this is true.
01:19
Option b says these inhibitors are structurally similar to the normal substrate of the enzyme and this is also true...
