Not a feature of competitive inhibition?
Correct Answer: Inhibitor and substrate can bind simultaneously to same enzyme molecule
Description: Ans. a (Inhibitor and substrate can bind simultaneously to same enzyme molecule) (Ref. Harper 27th/Ch. 8)In noncompetitive inhibition, binding of the inhibitor does not affect binding of substrate. Formation of both El and EIS complexes is therefore possible. However, while the enzyme-inhibitor complex can still bind substrate, its efficiency at transforming substrate to product, reflected by Vmax, is decreased. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind enzymes at sites distinct from the substrate-binding site and generally bear little or no structural resemblance to the substrate.The effects of competitive inhibitors, which typically resemble substrates, are overcome by raising the con- centration of the substrate. Noncompetitive inhibitors lower Vmax but do not affect Km.
