What happens when the bond formed between an enzyme and an inhibitor is a strong covalent bond?
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.
