Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the allosteric inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive.

Introduction: The chemical agents that inhibit the enzymatic activity may be reversible inhibitor, or irreversible inhibitor. A reversible inhibitor inhibits an enzyme by forming weak chemical bonds with the enzyme. It may be a competitive inhibitor or noncompetitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor inhibits an enzyme by competing with the substrate for the active site. A noncompetitive inhibitor inhibits an enzyme by binding with the enzyme at a site other than active site. An irreversible inhibitor inactivates an enzyme permanently by attaching with that enzyme.
