1. Denaturation is when a protein or nucleic acid loses some to
all of its function.
2. 
3.
A competitive
inhibitor has a molecular shape similar to the enzyme itself, and binds to the
substrate on the active site, thus blocking the enzyme from binding. A noncompetitive
inhibitor does not anywhere near the active site, instead it bind to the
substrate at another location on its surface.
4. INDUCED FIT MEANS THAT THE ENZYME RECOGNISES THE
SUBSTRATES THEN SLIGHTLY CHANGES IT'S SHAPE, BRING THE TWO SUBSTRATES TOGETHER.
LOCK AND KEY----THE SUBSTRATE FITS EXACTLY INTO THE ACTIVE SITE OF THE PROTEIN
