in what type of inhibition does the inhibitor bind to an enzyme at a site other than the active site?
noncompetitive inhibition
reversible inhibition
competitive inhibition
irreversible inhibition
In non - competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to an allosteric site (a site other than the active site) of the enzyme, changing the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Reversible inhibition refers to the ability of the inhibitor to dissociate from the enzyme, competitive inhibition involves the inhibitor binding to the active site, and irreversible inhibition means the inhibitor binds covalently to the enzyme.
