OPEN ENDED: In a laboratory a scientist is experimenting with a synthetic enzyme called “hydrolase”. The goal of this enzyme is to bind to intracellular water and speed up hydrolysis RXNs within the cell, so that cells can break apart any polymer at a much faster rate than normal. Describe the mechanisms by which a competitive inhibitor and a non-competitive inhibitor could act on this enzyme.

Respuesta :

A competitive inhibitor will stop the reaction from happening because it blocks out the hydrolase from the enzyme, and a noncompetitive will try to block it but in a different way.  The noncompetitives change the shape of the enzyme active site so that the hydrolase cant bond with it.
