- works in the following way
- Non-competitive inhibitors
- the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at a location other than active site,which is called an allosteric
- the binding of the inhiibitor causes the tertiary structure of the enzyme to change,meaning the active site changes shape
- this results in the active site no longer having a complementary shape to the substrate so it is unable to bind to the enzyme
- the enzyme cannot carry out its function and it is said to be inhibited
- as the inhibitor does not compete with the substrate for the active site
- the enzyme cannot carry out its function and it is said to be inhibited
- this results in the active site no longer having a complementary shape to the substrate so it is unable to bind to the enzyme
- the binding of the inhiibitor causes the tertiary structure of the enzyme to change,meaning the active site changes shape
