inhibitors

• what are enzymes inhibitors

  this is the decrease in the rate of reaction in a enzymes controlled reaction by another molecule
• how does an enzyme inhibitor work


  it will bind to the enzyme preventing the substrate from binding
• what is a competitive inhibitor

  a molecule that competes with the substrate to bind in the active site of an enzyme.
• what happens to the competitive inhibitors effect if the substrate concentration increases


  it reduces
• what is an example of a non-competitive inhibitor

  Cyanide
• what is an example of a competitive inhibitor

  malanoic acid
• How does a non-competitive inhibitor work?

  it binds to the allosteric site rather then the active site
• what is the allosteric site

  A site on the outside of an enzyme
• How does a non-competitive inhibitor prevent enzyme from working

  when it binds to the allosteric site it will alter the shape of the active site from working
