Dry-cleaning means the cleaning of clothes without using water.
The solvent should be such that it evaporates easily.
Ethanol is not used for dry cleaning of clothes.
Drugs that bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function are called Antagonists.
Some drugs do not bind to the enzyme’s active site.
These bind to a different site of enzyme which is called allosteric site.
A gum called rosin is added to soap which forms sodium rosinate. It helps to produce lather.
Drugs can inhibit the attachment of substrate on active site of Enzyme in two ways.
(1) Competitive, (2) Non-competitive Competitive inhibitors bind on the active site of Enzymes.
Non-Competitive inhibitors bind on allosteric site.
Let's analyze both statements: Statement I: Action of an enzyme can be blocked only when an inhibitor blocks the active site of the enzyme.
This statement is false because enzyme inhibition can occur in more than one way.
Besides competitive inhibition (where the inhibitor binds to the active site), there are other types such as non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibition, where the inhibitor can bind elsewhere on the enzyme, altering its function.
Statement II: An inhibitor can form a strong covalent bond with the enzyme.
This statement is true.
Some inhibitors, known as irreversible inhibitors, form strong covalent bonds with the enzyme, permanently inactivating it.
So the correct answer is: Option D: Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Amytal is hypnotic drug used to treat sleeping disorder.
Veronal is neurological medicine, Prontosil is antibiotic, rest all are disinfectants.
Sodium fusion extract is heated with dilute HNO3 to decompose NaCN or Na2S (if present) to HCN and H2S gases, respectively.
The presence of N or S interferes with the test of halogens by forming precipitate with AgNO3.
