उत्तर
Vitamins
Explanation:
Drugs usually interact with biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. These are called drug targets. Vitamins are not a target molecule for drug function in body.

Why are certain drugs called enzyme inhibitors?
Explain the role of allosteric site in enzyme inhibition?
Assertion: Enzymes have active sites that hold substrate molecule for a chemical reaction.
Reason: Drugs compete with natural substrate by attaching covalently to the active site of enzyme.
Assertion: Competitive inhibitors compete with natural substrate for their attachment on the active sites of enzymes.
Reason: In competitive inhibition, inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme.
Assertion: Non-competitive inhibitor inhibits the catalyic activity of enzyme by binding with its active site.
Reason: Non-competitive inhibitor changes the shape of the active site in such a way that substrate can’t recognise it.
How do enzymes catalyse a chemical reaction in the living system? Explain drug target interaction taking the example of enzyme as target.
What are enzyme inhibitors? Classify them on the basis of their mode of attachments on the active site of enzymes. With the help of diagrams explain how do inhibitors inhibit the enzymatic activity.
