    GlossaryEnzyme Inhibition

    reduction or cessation of enzyme activity by specific molecules

    Enzyme inhibition refers to the process by which the activity of an enzyme is reduced or stopped. This can occur through various mechanisms, such as competitive inhibition, where an inhibitor molecule competes with the substrate for the active site, or non-competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor binds to a different part of the enzyme, altering its shape and function. Understanding enzyme inhibition is crucial in fields like pharmacology and biochemistry, as it can influence drug design and metabolic regulation.
