How Does the Cell Overcome Inhibition from Irreversible Inhibitors

question 47

Multiple Choice

How does the cell overcome inhibition from irreversible inhibitors?

• A) by binding a second inhibitor, which forces the enzyme's conformation to dislodge the first inhibitor
• B) by phosphorylating the enzyme, altering the enzyme's conformation to dislodge the inhibitor
• C) by altering the cellular pH, which will decrease the bonding between the enzyme and the inhibitor
• D) by degrading the enzyme-inhibitor complex and generating new enzyme
• E) by upregulating the expression of other enzymes with similar catalytic functions
