Vedclass · Answer

(C) Enzyme inhibition can be either reversible or irreversible. In case of irreversible inhibition,the inhibitor dissociates very slowly from its target enzyme because it has become tightly bound to the enzyme,either covalently or non-covalently. Some irreversible inhibitors are important drugs like $Penicillin$ and $Aspirin$. Thus,"drug induced poisoning" occurs when a drug binds irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme,permanently blocking its function.
