Competitive and noncompetitive
37
What is the difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors? 
Competitive inhibitors = fill in the activation site of the enzyme and compete with substrate for the active site  Noncompetitive inhibitors = bind with another part of the enzyme, which change their shape and activation site

What is it called when a noncompetitive inhibitor binds with another part of the enzyme which changes the shape of the activation site? 
Allosteric inhibition 
39
T/F When a noncompetitive inhibitor binds on another part of the enzyme, it does not change the shape 
False It does shape change
