What is the role of competitive inhibitors in enzyme activity?
Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate for the enzyme’s active site, reducing enzyme activity.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 9: Biomolecules Enzyme Action and Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity
Which type of enzyme inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to the enzyme at a site other than the active site?
In non-competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site, altering the enzyme's function.
