Well, unlike competitive inhibitors the non-competitive inhibitors will not compete the active site of the enzyme with substrate . Instead, it will combine with the enzyme somewhere except the ative site and alter the whole shape of the enzymes therefore the active site of substrate and enzyme are not the same and therefore no enzyme-substrate complex can be formed and the enzymatic effect can't be restored becausr the enzymes are now denatured

A "non-competitive activator" doesn't exist; however, there is a non-competitive inhibitor. An inhibitor would inhibit a process, holding it back. A non-competitive inhibitor would decrease enzyme activity.

What modify's the rate of enzyme activity.?

Several factors affect the rate at which enzymatic reactions proceed - temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activator


When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme?

The shape of the active site is distorted.


What would be the likely outcome if you increased the concentration of substrate for an enzyme in the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor?

No change in enzyme activity would be observed.


A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that?

A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that does not resemble the substrate structure. A compound that binds to the surface of an enzyme, and changes its shape so that a substrate cannot enter the active site is called a noncompetitive inhibitor.


Does a non-competitive inhibitor enhance the activity of an enzyme?

No. Remember what "inhibit" means: to hold back; restrain. Both non-competitive and competitive inhibitors affect enzymes by preventing the substrate from binding, though they differ in their methods. The opposite of an inhibitor is called an activator. So when you see the word "inhibitor," you know the functionality of the enzyme will decrease, and when you see the word "activator," you know the functionality of the enzyme will increase. The adjective before "inhibitor" or "activator" will ultimately tell you how the enzyme is inhibited or activated.


How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitions differ?

A competitive inhibitor often binds to an enzyme's active site. Noncompetitive inhibitors usually bind to a different site on the enzyme.


Competitive and noncompetitive enzyme inhibitors differ with respect to?

the precise location on the enzyme to which they bind


What is an enzyme that is blocked?

Inhibited. Competitive, noncompetitive, allosterically and so on.


What environment factors can affect the activity of an enzyme?

temperature


What can effect how the enzyme and substrate come together?

Shape of substrate, shape of the enzyme, Competitive, noncompetitive and allosteric inhibitors.


What affect does too much substrate have on the rate of an enzyme reaction?

The enzyme becomes saturated by the substrate and enzyme activity plateaus.


Does freezing a enzyme affect it?

When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
