Answer: Ascorbase a form of ascorbate, a drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes which acts to inhibit maltase a membrane bound enzyme that completes the digestion of starch in the human body.this inhibition is done through;
- By preventing substrates from binding to the active site therefore forming few enzyme complex substrates.
- it also inhibits the enzymes by binding to the active sites of that enzyme.
- it also does so by reacting slowly and also because it has a complementary shape to the active site of the enzyme maltase.
