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
