MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and blocks its activity. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions necessary for life, in which substrate molecules are converted into products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzyme inhibitors can be defined as molecules that bind to enzymes and decrease their activity. They bind to the active site of enzymes and decrease their compatibility with substrates which causes the inhibition of the Enzyme-Substrate complexes formation.

Detailed explanation-3: -1: A competitive inhibitor is a molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme without reacting, thus preventing the substrate from binding. A noncompetitive inhibitor attaches at an allosteric site, which is any site on the enzyme that is not the active site.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzyme inhibitors are compounds which modify the catalytic properties of the enzyme and, therefore, slow down the reaction rate, or in some cases, even stop the catalysis. Such inhibitors work by blocking or distorting the active site.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that interact with enzymes (temporary or permanent) in some way and reduce the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction or prevent enzymes to work in a normal manner. The important types of inhibitors are competitive, noncompetitive, and uncompetitive inhibitors.
