    Besides polypeptides, conjugated proteins posses additional groups, metals or ions. Nucleoproteins are proteins associated with nucleic acids. Lipoproteins are proteins associated with lipids. Chromoproteins are proteins associated with pigments. Glycoproteins are proteins with a simple or complex sugar residue at their n- terminal.

    In competitive inhibition the inhibitor resembles the substrate in structure and hence compete for the active site of the enzyme.

    Correct Option: B

    In competitive inhibition the inhibitor resembles the substrate in structure and hence compete for the active site of the enzyme.
