Flashcards
Competitive Inhibition
Competitive Inhibition
An inhibitor binds to the active site of an enzyme, competing with the substrate for binding.
Noncompetitive Inhibition
Noncompetitive Inhibition
Inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site, altering the enzyme's shape and making it less active.
Uncompetitive Inhibition
Uncompetitive Inhibition
Inhibitor binds only to the enzyme-substrate complex (ES), not the free enzyme (E).
