Enzyme Inhibition

Name two types of enzyme inhibitors

Where does a competitive inhibitor bind to?

How do competitive enzymes decrease the rate of a reaction?

What feature of competitive inhibitors allows them to bind the the active site of the enzyme as if they were the substrate?

Where do non-competitive inhibitors bind to?

Once a non-competitive inhibitor binds to an enzyme, what happens to the rate of reaction and why?

In a non-competitive reaction mixture, if you increase the substrate concentration, what happens?
