In the formation of an ESI complex,__________ inhibition can result.
A) mixed
B) competitive
C) covalent
D) anticompetitive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the formation of an ESI complex, mixed inhibition can result. In mixed inhibition, the inhibitor can bind to either the enzyme or the enzyme-substrate complex, resulting in a mixed type of inhibition where the inhibitor has different affinities for the enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complex. This type of inhibition results in a decrease in both the Vmax and the Km values.
