Tutoring biology, non-competitive inhibition may be mentioned. The tutor explains it.<\/h1>\n

In yesterday’s post<\/a> I explain competitive inhibition.<\/p>\n

Non-competitive inhibition is similiar to competitive inhibition in that it hinders enzyme function. The difference is that, with non-competitive inhibition, the inhibitor doesn’t bind to the enzyme’s active site; with competitive inhibition, it does.<\/p>\n

A non-competitive inhibitor may be a bulky atom such as a heavy metal, or a bulky molecule. This bulky species will attach itself to the enzyme somewhere other than the active site. However, the enzyme’s function is still impeded by one of two possible ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The bulk of the inhibitor, though not occupying the active site, may still make it hard to reach, just as a long vehicle in a parking stall can prevent the use of the stall past it.<\/li>\n
  2. The inhibitor may change the chemistry of the enzyme, making it less attractive to its intended substrate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
