1
New cards

competitive inhibition

inhibitor resembles the substrate and competes with the substrate for binding to the enzyme active site

2
New cards

uncompetitive inhibition

inhibitor binds directly (and only) to the ES complex, not to the free enzyme. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a different (allosteric) site, altering the enzyme’s shape and reducing activity regardless of substrate levels

3
New cards

mixed inhibition

inhibitor can bind to either free enzyme or ES, and affects the dissociation constant for S. I is a modulator of S

4
New cards

allosteric enzyme

a protein that changes its shape and activity when a regulatory molecule binds to a site other than the active site
