BIO NMDCAT Inhibitors
nmdcat.online July 13, 2026

The experimental observation indicates that both substrate binding and enzyme concentration remain unchanged, yet the reaction rate decreases. The most appropriate explanation is

A. Catalytic activity has been reduced by a non-competitive inhibitor
B. The substrate has been completely consumed
C. Additional active sites have been formed
D. The enzyme has become a coenzyme

📝 Explanation

Non-competitive inhibitors reduce catalytic efficiency without necessarily affecting substrate binding. Concept tested: Interpretation of enzyme inhibition experiments.

📖 Additional Information

  • Catalytic activity has been reduced by a non-competitive inhibitor
  • The substrate has been completely consumed
  • Additional active sites have been formed
  • The enzyme has become a coenzyme
