Enzyme inhibition.
Instructor: Nam Sun Wang
Enzyme inhibition can be classified into the following three categories, depending on the mechanism.
Competitive
... The inhibitor binds to the active site and competes with the substrate.
Non-competitive ... The inhibitor binds to a different site and reduces enzyme activity.
Un-competitive ... The inhibitor binds to and inactivate the enzyme-substrate complex.
