The property of being reversible allows the enzymes to do their work. Binding is accomplished through Van der Walls bonding or hydrogen bonding, both which are weak bonds.

What happens to the vmax when a competitive reversible inhibitor is added to an enzyme?
The vmax stays the same as the competitive reversible inhibitor does not affect catalysis in the enzyme-substrate.
What will happen to the enzyme active site after NADH binds there?
After the NADH binds there the binding of pyruvate happens at the enzyme active site.
Does Allosteric regulation depends on inhibitors binding to the active site of enzymes?
Of course. That is the meaning of ' noncompetitive inhibitor. ' It does not compete with the substrate at the active site but inhibits enzyme activity at the allosteric ( other site ) site.
What blocks enzyme activity by binding to allosteric site of an enzyme causing the enzyme's active site to change shape?
An allosteric inhibitor stops enzyme activity by binding to an allosteric site and causing the conformation of the enzyme to change.
Is it true that most enzyme assisted reactions are reversible?
Since enzymes have a specific active site, then a specific substrate binds on to it. The product that forms from the substrate have still the same shape in the active site. In other words there shaped is not altered, only the substrate is either broken apart or made into one. However the shape of the substrate/s is still the same. hence the subsrate/s can rejoin to the active site and thus the reverse reaction can occur.
What happens to the vmax when a competitive reversible inhibitor is added to an enzyme?
The vmax stays the same as the competitive reversible inhibitor does not affect catalysis in the enzyme-substrate.
This is a specific region of an enzyme where a substrate binds and the chemical reaction occurs?
it i called an active site
What will happen to the enzyme active site after NADH binds there?
After the NADH binds there the binding of pyruvate happens at the enzyme active site.
What is the enzymes have an attachment site called the active site for what to join?
Active site.
Difference between active site and binding site?
Binding site is anywhere which something (such as a protein) can bind to. An example would be the upper flanking regions which contain binding sites thattranscription factors bond with during transcription. The active site is more specific to enzymes and refers to the site where the enzyme functions. It is the specific contours of this active site which give the enzyme its specific function (see how enzymes are substrate specific).
What blocks enzyme activity by binding to the active site of an enzyme?
Competitive inhibitors reduce enzyme activity by binding (in competition with the enzyme's substrate) to the active site. These inhibitors may be reversible or irreversible. With reversible inhibitors, which may release the enzyme, concentrations much higher than the concentration of the substrate would be required to completely block enzyme activity, and even then one or two reactions may take place over long periods of time. With irreversible inhibitors, which permanently attach to the enzyme, enzyme activity could be completely blocked when the amount of inhibitor matches the amount of enzyme. Competitive inhibition reduces the enzymes ability to bind substrate (so it lowers the KM) but does not alter the maximum rate (very high substrate concentrations would out compete for enzyme binding).Other types of inhibitors work in other ways. Non-competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme on a site other than the active site. These too may be reversible or irreversible. Binding does not compete with substrate, so concentrations to completely block enzyme activity do not have to be as high as reversible competitive inhibitors. Non-competitive inhibition reduces the apparent maximum rate for the enzyme.Uncompetitive inhibitors bind only when the substrate is also bound to the enzyme (they bind to the enzyme-substrate complex). Both the maximum rate and substrate binding affinities appear lower.
Does Allosteric regulation depends on inhibitors binding to the active site of enzymes?
Of course. That is the meaning of ' noncompetitive inhibitor. ' It does not compete with the substrate at the active site but inhibits enzyme activity at the allosteric ( other site ) site.
What blocks enzyme activity by binding to allosteric site of an enzyme causing the enzyme's active site to change shape?
An allosteric inhibitor stops enzyme activity by binding to an allosteric site and causing the conformation of the enzyme to change.
Altering the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme might?
prevent the substrate from binding the enzyme's active site
Which important complex is formed due to complimentary binding at the enzyme active site?
Substrate product complex
Difference between reversible and irreversible inhibitors?
Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that bind to enzymes and decrease their activity. The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from entering the enzyme's active site and/or hinder the enzyme from catalyzing its reaction. Inhibitor binding is either reversible or irreversible. Irreversible inhibitors usually react with the enzyme and change it chemically. These inhibitors modify key amino acid residues needed for enzymatic activity. In contrast, reversible inhibitors bind non-covalently and different types of inhibition are produced depending on whether these inhibitors bind the enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex, or both.
Inhibitors of enzymes-catalyzed reactions act by?
Different Enzymes inhibit in different ways. Some are structural analogue of substrate and they compete the substrate in binding to the enzyme. Some inhibitors bind in the active site and prevent the binding of the enzyme. Some enzymes doesn't bind the active site but they change the active site properties that prevent the efficient binding of the substrate. some time substrate in large quantity may inhibit the enzyme, while other times the product formed may do so.
