Answer:
- Reversible competitive: inhibitor structures resembles substrate structure and inhibitor does not alter the maximum reaction rate.
- Reversible noncompetitive: inhibitor binds noncovalently at other site than active site.
- Irreversible: inhibitor binds covalently and permanently at the active site.
Explanation:
Hello,
- Reversible competitive: in this case, one says that inhibitor structures resembles substrate structure and inhibitor does not alter the maximum reaction rate. This is in this way, as long as competition is carried out when the substrates and inhibitors are similar so they are able to react. On the other hand, the inhibitor does not alter the maximum reaction rate because the inhibitor just modify the mechanism instead of the rate.
- Reversible noncompetitive: in this case, one says that inhibitor binds noncovalently at other site than active site as long as such inhibitor usually not interact with the enzyme at the active site, so no mechanism is done.
- Irreversible: in this case, one says that inhibitor binds covalently and permanently at the active site since the inhibitor occupies the substrate's place in the enzyme, so another mechanism is carried out.
Best regards.
