What is competitive inhibition in enzymes?
competitive inhibition occurs when the active site of the enzyme is complementary to the binding site of the inhibitor and so binds to form a complex. The inhibitor molecule therefore occupies the active site, thus preventing an enzyme-subtrate complex from forming.
