| Front |
State two examples of non-competetive inhibitors and describe their action. |
| Back |
Examples of non-competetive inhibitors:- Organophosphates (herbicides and insecticides) inhibit enzyme acetyl cholinesterase (responsible for nerve impulse transmission) - leads to muscle cramps, paralysis or death
