Which of the Following Types of Serine Protease Inhibitors Are

Question

Which of the following types of serine protease inhibitors are organic fluorophosphates?
A)competitive
B)uncompetitive
C)non-competitive
D)irreversible

Accepted Answer

Organic fluorophosphates are irreversible serine protease inhibitors as they form a covalent bond with the active site serine residue of the enzyme, causing permanent inactivation. Competitive, uncompetitive, and non-competitive inhibitors do not bind irreversibly to the enzyme and can be reversed by increasing substrate concentration.
