non-competitive

• What do non-competitive inhibitor molecules do?

  Bind to the enzyme away from its active site

  • this causes the active site to change shape so the substrate molecules can no longer bind to it
• Do non-competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate molecules to bind to the active site?

  no because they are a different shape
• what is the effect of increasing the conc of substrate?


  it will not make any difference to the reaction rate - enzyme activity will still be inhibited
