Answer»

Correct option (D) All of these

Explanation:

There are three broad categories of enzyme inhibition: 

(a) Reversible inhibition: The inhibitor binds noncovalently with the enzyme and the inhibition is reversible. Competitive, non-competitive and uncompetitive come under this category. 

(b) Irreversible inhibition: The inhibitor covalently binds with the enzyme which is irreversible. 

(c) Allosteric inhibition: Certain enzymes possessing allosteric sites are regulated by allosteric effectors
