Asparagine endopeptidase has optimal activity at an acidic pH of 5.5
and a temperature of 98 degrees F. Under which of the following
conditions would the catalytic activity of asparagine endopeptidase be
highest?
(1/1 Points)
Exposure to a temperature of 150 degrees F
In renal tissue at pH 10 during alkalosis
Exposure to a temperature of 20 degrees F

An experimental compound, termed Drug X, can inhibit an enzyme by
binding at a site that is distinct from the enzyme's active site. What
type of inhibitor is Drug X?
(1/1 Points)
Competitive
Non-competitive
The correct answer is, "Non-competitive." An inhibitor that binds to a site other than the
enzyme's active site (allosteric site) is a non-competitive inhibitor.
Sequential
Congruent

Alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol to acetoacetate. Which one of
the compounds below could act as a competitive inhibitor of alcohol
dehydrogenase?
(1/1 Points)
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
The correct answer is Option 3, methanol. Alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol to
acetoacetate, which means that ethanol is the substrate of the enzyme. A competitive
inhibitor should have a similar structure as the substrate of the enzyme, since they both
compete to bind to the active site of the enzyme. The structure of methanol is very
similar to the structure of ethanol.
