Question

Determine whether the statement is true or false.azt is a noncompetitive inhibitor of the aids virus enzyme called reverse transcriptase.

Answer 1

AZT or azidothymidine is an antiretroviral medication that is ingested by AIDS patients to prevent further development of the disease. AZT is not a noncompetitive inhibitor but a competitive inhibitor that competes with the virus so that it does not link to the substrate that forms the disease.
