You have an enzymatic reaction proceeding at the optimum pH and optimum temperature. You add a competitive inhibitor to the reaction and notice that the reaction slows down.
what can you do to speed the reaction up again?
Add more inhibitor to speed up the reaction. | |
Add more substrate; it will outcompete the inhibitor and increase the reaction rate. | |
Increase the temperature. | |
Increase the pH. |
Answer:
A:- Add more substrate, it will outcompete the inhibitor and increase the reaction rate. With increasing the concentration of substrate the rate of the reaction increases.
