Which is incorrect about enzymes? many drugs, like statin drugs, work by inhibiting key enzymes in cells. a noncompetitive inhibitor of enzymes interferes with the active site of the enzyme. enzymes need to have a precise shape to work correctly. in humans, extremely high fevers can be fatal because enzymes begin to unfold and stop working. some enzymes can work in extreme temperatures or very low ph?

Incorrect - some enzymes can work in extreme temperatures or very low ph

Enzymes are sensitive to their environment. The activity of an enzyme is influenced by both temperature and pH. Most human enzymes work best at temperatures of about 40°C and within a pH range of 6 to 8.
