Question

Enzyme inhibitors

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzyme inhibitors slow down enzyme-controlled reactions by binding to the enzyme in a way that prevents the substrate from attaching to the enzyme's active site. This can happen through competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor directly competes with the substrate for the active site, or through non-competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor binds to a different part of the enzyme, altering its shape and thus its ability to bind the substrate.
