non-competitive inhibitors

Cards (6)

  • non-competitive inhibitor
    bind to the enzyme away from its active site
  • what is the site they bind to known as
    the enzymes allosteric site
  • what do they do
    cause the active site of the enzyme to change so that the substrate molecule can't bind to it
  • Non-competitive inhibitor molecules don't compete with the substrate molecules to bind to the active site because they are a different shapes increasing the concentration of substrate won't make any difference
  • non-competitive inhibitor
    A) inhibitor molecule
    B) active site
    C) active site
  • effects of a non-competitive inhibitor
    A) without an inhibitor
    B) non-competitive
    C) little effect on rate
