The diagram represents an enzyme, its substrate and potential inhibitors (P, Q, R, S, T). 
Which one of the following combinations is the best pair of competitive inhibitors for the enzyme?
Competitive inhibitors resemble the substrate and bind to the active site of the enzyme. In the diagram, the substrate is shown as a triangular shape that fits into the V-shaped active site. Now compare the inhibitors: P → contains a triangular portion, resembling the substrate shape → can compete for the active site. S → diamond shape with pointed ends similar to the substrate geometry → also likely to fit the active site. Q, R, T → shapes do not resemble the substrate, so they are less likely to act as competitive inhibitors. Therefore, the best pair of competitive inhibitors is: P and S.
