QJEEM17Ch4be8: JEE Main 2017 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM17Ch4be8 Solution: The reason for “drug induced poisoning” is :
The reason for “drug induced poisoning” is :
Multiple Choice Options
- A Binding reversibly at the active site of the enzyme
- B Bringing conformational change in the binding site of enzyme
- C Binding irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme
- D Binding at the allosteric sites of the enzyme
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Some drugs acts as allosteric effectors. They can cause large changes in enzymatic activity by binding with a site other than the active site. This other site is also called an allosteric site. When it causes a decrease in enzyme activity, the effector molecules are called allosteric inhibitors.
