A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme

Question

Accepted Answer

C. resembles the substrate and occupies the active site

**Competitive inhibition:** the inhibitor is shape-similar to the substrate and competes for the active site.
Excess substrate can outcompete it.
Inhibitors that bind away from the active site (allosteric / non-competitive) act differently.
Inhibitors don't raise temperature or fragment the enzyme.

Answer

binds permanently away from the active site

Answer
