Question

TransitionState 7) Adenosine deaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine substrate to inosine product, through a transition state complex. H2N OH 0 NH3 HN Ribose Ribose Ribose Adenosine Inosine An inhibitor called 1,6-dihydroionsine was developed for the enzyme. Review its structure shown, and determine which type of inhibition it is он Ribose Inhibitor 1,6-Dihydroinosine

Answer 1

1,6- dihydroionsine is the transition state analog and the inhibition is competitive inhibition.  

During competitive inhibition, an inhibitor is competing with the substrate for access to the enzyme's active site.
