Flashcards
Competitive Inhibitor
Competitive Inhibitor
A type of drug that blocks the activity of an enzyme by competing with its natural substrate.
Allopurinol
Allopurinol
A drug that inhibits the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is involved in the production of uric acid. This medication is used to treat gout, a condition caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood.
Penicillin
Penicillin
An antibiotic drug that blocks the activity of the bacterial enzyme transpeptidase. This enzyme is crucial for bacteria to build cell walls.
