What is the active site of an enzyme?

• A region that binds allosteric regulators of the enzyme

• A region that binds the products of the catalytic reaction

• A region that is inhibited by the presence of a coenzyme or a cofactor

• A region that is involved in the catalytic reaction of the enzyme

Zinc, an essential trace element for most organisms, is present in the active site of enzyme carboxypeptidase. The zinc most likely functions as

• a cofactor necessary for enzyme activity

• a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme

• a non-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme

• a coenzyme derived from a vitamin
