Why are uncompetitive andmixed inhibitors generally considered to

Biology
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are not affected by the substrate concentration while inhibition by a competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate.

Explanation:

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. When the competitive inhibitor combines with the enzyme and forms the enzyme-inhibitor complex (EI complex), the substrate cannot bind to the active site. However, the inhibition by competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration around the enzyme which in turn would allow the substrate to bind to the active site and the reaction would proceed.  

On the other hand, an uncompetitive inhibitor binds to the site at the enzyme different from the active site. Once the ES complex is formed, the uncompetitive inhibitor joins the complex to inhibit the enzymatic activity.  

Likewise, a mixed inhibitor also occupies a site on the enzyme distinct from the active site for the substrate. A mixed inhibitor binds to the enzyme or ES complex to inhibit the reaction.  

Since the binding site for uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are distinct from the substrate-binding site on the enzyme, increasing the substrate concentration can not overcome the inhibition.

slamgirl [31]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C

OSTEOARTHRITIS.

The client has a degenerative form of disease that is evidenced by osteoarthritis.

Explanation: Osteoporosis is otherwise known as degenerative joint disease.

In a healthy joint,a protective cartilage cushions the end of bones(articulating bones) and as well acting as a shock absorber.

In osteoarthritis,these cartilage that acts as a cushion to the bones wears down down or generates with time exposing the joint and the bones predisposing them to mild to moderate friction that occurs as a result of mobility of the bones/joint.

Osteoarthritis mostly affect joints of the hips, hands,spine and knees.

Some of the common symptoms of Osteoarthritis are;pain in the joints of the hands,knees,hips,lower back and neck with crackles,stiffness and tenderness of the joints which often results to difficulty in walking and deformity of the joint if left untreated.
