Inhibitors. 0.0 / 5 ? BiologyBiological molecules, organic chemistry and biochemistryA2/A-levelAQA Created by: ShannonMacyCreated on: 14-03-17 19:55 Inhibitors. Slow down rate of reaction of enzyme when necessary (e.g. when temp is too high) Molecule present in highest conc. is most likely to form an ES-complex Competitive inhibitors: Compete with substrate Shape similar to substrate/prevents access when bonds Can slow down metabolic pathway Non-competitive inhibitors: Chemical does not have to resemble the substrate Binds to enzyme other than at active site This changes the enzyme's active site and prevents access to it 1 of 1
