nmdcat.online July 13, 2026

Among the following statements, reversible enzyme inhibitors are characterized by

A. Temporary binding to the enzyme
✓
B. Permanent destruction of enzyme molecules
C. Irreversible covalent bonding in every case
D. Conversion of enzymes into substrates

📝 Explanation

Reversible inhibitors bind through weak interactions and can dissociate from the enzyme, restoring activity. Permanent destruction occurs only with irreversible inhibitors. Concept tested: Reversible inhibition.
