The correct answer is 'c. noncompetitive inhibition'.
Объяснение
## Step 1The problem describes a situation where a molecule binds to an area of an enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the shape of the enzyme such that it can no longer function effectively. This is a description of a type of enzyme inhibition.## Step 2Enzyme inhibition is a process where a molecule, known as an inhibitor, binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. There are two main types of enzyme inhibition: competitive and noncompetitive.## Step 3Competitive inhibition occurs when the inhibitor resembles the substrate and competes for the active site of the enzyme. This is not the case in the problem, as the inhibitor is binding to a different site on the enzyme.## Step 4Noncompetitive inhibition, on the other hand, occurs when the inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme other than the active site. This binding causes a change in the enzyme's shape, which can prevent the substrate from binding to the active site. This is the type of inhibition described in the problem.
