nmdcat.online July 13, 2026

Regarding competitive inhibition, increasing the concentration of enzyme while keeping inhibitor concentration constant generally results in

A. An increase in the reaction rate
B. Complete loss of enzyme activity
C. No change in reaction rate
D. Conversion of inhibitor into substrate

📝 Explanation

Increasing enzyme concentration provides more active sites, allowing more substrate molecules to bind despite the presence of the inhibitor. Concept tested: Effect of enzyme concentration on inhibition.

📖 Additional Information
