How do non-competitive inhibitors work?
A non competitive inhibitor has a different shape to the substrate molecule.The inhibitor binds to an allosteric site.This causes a conformational change meaning the substrate is no longer able to bind to the active site.No enzyme substrate complex is formed therefore the reaction cannot take place.
