Non-Competitive Inhibition

258 Words2 Pages
Inhibitors slow down the process of enzyme activity. Enzyme inhibition has two types known as competitive inhibition and non-competitive inhibition. The substrate, inhibitor, active site, and enzyme play a major role/participate during a competitive inhibition. The inhibitor secures itself in the active site. This restrains the substrates from securing itself in the active site of the enzyme. The substrate, inhibitor, allosteric site, active site and enzyme participate in a non-competitive inhibition. The inhibitor secures itself in the bottom of the enzyme. This location is referred to as an allosteric site. This restrains the enzyme from functioning normally. The inhibitor does not secure itself in the active site. Non-competitive inhibition
