The Addition of the Competitive Inhibitor Mevinolin Slows the Reaction $\to$

Multiple Choice

The addition of the competitive inhibitor mevinolin slows the reaction HMG-CoA $\to$ mevalonate, which is catalyzed by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. The effects of mevinolin would be overcome and the rate of the reaction increased by

A) adding more mevalonate.
B) adding more HMG-CoA.
C) lowering the temperature of the reaction.
D) adding a prosthetic group.
E) lowering the rate constant of the reaction.
