Enzymes: Competitive Inhibitor

S[blank_start]imilar[blank_end] molecular shape to s[blank_start]ubstrate[blank_end] - allows them to o[blank_start]ccupy[blank_end] an enzyme active site

Therefore, they c[blank_start]ompete[blank_end] with the s[blank_start]ubstrate[blank_end] for a[blank_start]vailable[blank_end] active enzyme sites

Difference between [blank_start]concentrations[blank_end] of inhibitor and substrate determine the [blank_start]effect[blank_end] on enzyme activity

N[blank_start]egative[blank_end] c[blank_start]orrelation[blank_end] between [blank_start]substrate[blank_end] concentration and the effect of the i[blank_start]nhibitor[blank_end]

Sooner or later all [blank_start]substrate[blank_end] molecules will occupy active sites but the [blank_start]greater[blank_end] the concentration of [blank_start]inhibitor[blank_end], the longer this will take
