ENZYME INHIBITION

Enzymes are often inhibited by  the presence of  suitable inhibitors. Much of current drug therapy  is based  on this. Basically, there  are  three major  classes of  enzyme inhibition. These are:

Competitive  inhibition, when  the substrate and inhibitor compete for binding to the same active site

Noncompetitive  inhibition,  when  the inhibitor binds somewhere  else  on  the enzyme molecule reducing its efficiency, and

IJncompetitive inhibition
