    Q1. Some enzymes can be inhibited by the binding of a molecule to the enzyme and altering its conformation. What is this type of inhibition known as?

    • A) Competitive inhibition
    • B) Non-competitive inhibition
    • C) Allosteric inhibition
    • D) Covalent inhibition

    Answer: Allosteric inhibition

    Explanation: Allosteric inhibition occurs when inhibitor binds to the enzyme and alters its conformation, most tempting wrong is Competitive inhibition
