criteria for the drug selection is to ensure that the drug is directly in competition with the original
substrate when binding to the active site of the enzyme. What inhibitor would be an ideal choice?
Correct Answer: A competitive inhibitor
These factors can affect the protein folding and activity of an enzyme:
Correct Answer: 1. pH
2. Heat
3. Reducing agents
One way a cell can avoid overproduction of a molecule is by using a particular type of inhibition in
which the molecule itself acts as an inhibitor for an enzyme in its production pathway. This type of
regulation is known as feedback inhibition
Correct Answer: True
