Tetanus is also commonly called lockjaw, because the infection primarily causes muscle contractions in the jaw and neck, but can eventually spread to other parts of the body. Without treatment, tetanus infection can be life-threatening.
Competitive inhibitors. The inhibitor (I) competes with the substrate (S) for the enzyme active site (also known as the S-binding site). Binding of either of these molecules in the active site is a mutually exclusive event. The substrate and inhibitor share a high degree of structural similarity.
B) substrate must bind to the active site before a reaction occurs. C) reaction occur at the active site, which usually consists of a crevice on the surface of the enzyme. D) an enzyme yields a specific product whereas a nonbiological catalyst may produce more than one product, and side reactions may occur.) substrate must bind to the active site before a reaction occurs.
