- Enzyme Inhibition
- Inhibitors
- Non - reversible
- Slows down or stops an enzyme reaction
- Reversible
- Non - competitive
- Bind away from the active site
- Change the structure of the active site
- The enzyme - substrate complex cannot form
- Competitive
- Compete with substrate for active site
- Shape similar to the substrate
- Allows inhibitor to enter active site
- The more inhibitor, the slower the reaction
- The active site is blocked more often
- If the substrates cannot bond, less enzyme - substrate complexes will form
- The majority of inhibitors are reversible
- Non - competitive
- Non - reversible
- Inhibitors
