Competitive inhibition usually involves both substrate and inhibitor competing for binding at the allosteric site.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competitive inhibition involves the inhibitor competing with the substrate for binding at the active site, not the allosteric site. Allosteric inhibition involves the inhibitor binding at a site other than the active site and causing a conformational change that inhibits substrate binding.
