there is an active site with which the reactants readily interact because of the shape, polarity, or other characteristics of the active site. The interaction of the reactants (substrate) and the enzyme causes the enzyme to change shape. The new position places the substrate molecules into a position favorable to their reaction. Once the reaction takes place, the product is released. |

|
Definition
end product of a series of reactions acts as an allosteric inhibitor, shutting down one of the enzymes catalyzing the reaction series |
|
|
Term
What is competitive inhibition? |
|
Definition
a substance that mimics the substrate inhibits an enzyme by occupying the active site
mimic displaces the substrate and prevents the enzyme from catalyzing the substrate |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
substance inhibits the action of an enzyme by binding to the enzyme at a location other than the active site
inhibitor changes the shape of the enzyme which disables its enzymatic activity |
|
|
