Term | Description
nonenzyme | Location where a noncompetitive inhibitor will bind
allosteric site | Location where a competitive inhibitor will bind
active site | nonenzyme
Solution
To correctly match the terms with their descriptions, we need to understand the roles of competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors in enzyme activity:
Nonenzyme: This term does not directly relate to the descriptions provided. It seems to be a placeholder or incorrect term in this context.
Allosteric site: This is the location where a noncompetitive inhibitor will bind. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site, which is a site other than the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and function.
Active site: This is the location where a competitive inhibitor will bind. Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate for binding at the enzyme's active site.
Based on this understanding, the correct matches are:
Allosteric site: Location where a noncompetitive inhibitor will bind.
Active site: Location where a competitive inhibitor will bind.
The term "nonenzyme" does not fit any of the descriptions provided.
