Microorganisms can be poisoned by a variety of chemicals, and many of the most potent poisons are enzyme inhibitors.
Hello dear dr. Saade.... Competitive inhibitors are molecules which are very similar to the enzymes natural substrate, and thus compete for the active site. As a result, the the inhibitor binds to the active site and remains their, preventing further reactions.
The enzyme may react with the inhibitor and release the products as it would usually do to its substrate, thus the inhibitor and substrate compete for the active site.
Non-Competitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site of the enzyme (A site on the enzyme which is not the active one). This results in a conformational change of the protein, distorting the active site and thus is unable to bind the substrate. So long as the non-competitive inhibitor is bound, the enzyme remains inactive.

The noncompetitive inhibitor binds to a different site on the enzyme; it doesn't block substrate binding, but it causes other changes in the enzyme so that it can no longer catalyze the reaction efficiently).

Competitive inhibitors are those which mimic the shape of the actual substrate and binds to the active site. When a competitive inhibitor is present which mimics the substrate and binds with the enzyme but is not converted to any product and competes for the enzyme active site with actual substrate. Non-competitive inhibitors do not compete for the active site with substrate but does not allow substrate to bind at the active site. An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. By binding to enzymes' active sites, inhibitors reduce the compatibility of substrate and enzyme and this leads to the inhibition of Enzyme-Substrate complexes' formation, preventing the catalyzation of reactions and decreasing (at times to zero) the amount of product produced by a reaction.
Hi Dr. Saade
The competitive inhibitor binds to the active site and prevents the substrate from binding there. The noncompetitive inhibitor binds to a different site on the enzyme; it doesn't block substrate binding, but it causes other changes in the enzyme so that it can no longer catalyze the reaction efficiently.

Hi Dr.
competitive inhibitors compete with the actual ligand for the binding site in protein whereas non-competitive inhibitors do not.
Competitive inhibition is interruption of a chemical pathway owing to one chemical substance inhibiting the effect of another by competing with it for binding or bonding. Any metabolic or chemical messenger system can potentially be affected by this principle, but several classes of competitive inhibition are especially important in biochemistry and medicine, including the competitive form of enzyme inhibition, the competitive form of receptor antagonism, the competitive form of antimetabolite activity, and the competitive form of poisoning (which can include any of the aforementioned types).
Enzyme inhibition type Edit
In competitive inhibition of enzyme catalysis, binding of an inhibitor prevents binding of the target molecule of the enzyme, also known as the substrate.This is accomplished by blocking the binding site of the substrate – the active site – by some means. The Vmax indicates the maximum velocity of the reaction, while the Km is the amount of substrate needed to reach half of the Vmax. Km also plays a part in indicating the tendency of the substrate to bind the enzyme. Competitive inhibition can be overcome by adding more substrate to the reaction, which increases the chances of the enzyme and substrate binding. As a result, competitive inhibition alters only the Km, leaving the Vmax the same. This can be demonstrated using enzyme kinetics plots such as the Michaelis-Menten or the Lineweaver-Burk plot. Once the inhibitor is bound to the enzyme, the slope will be affected, as the Km either increases or decreases from the original Km of the reaction.
Most competitive inhibitors function by binding reversibly to the active site of the enzyme. As a result, many sources state that this is the defining feature of competitive inhibitors. This, however, is a misleading oversimplification, as there are many possible mechanisms by which an enzyme may bind either the inhibitor or the substrate but never both at the same time. For example, allosteric inhibitors may display competitive, non-competitive, or uncompetitive inhibition.
Competitive inhibition is the interruption of a chemical pathway owing to one chemical substance inhibiting the effect of another by competing with it for binding or bonding, whereas non-competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor reduces the activity of the enzyme and binds equally well to the enzyme whether or not it has already bound the substrate.

Hi doctor
molecules that block or promote enzyme function,competitive inhibition, meaning inhibitor bind to an enzyme and block binding of the substrate( attaching to the active site) because the inhibitor “competes” with the substrate for the enzyme. While , noncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor doesn't block the substrate from binding to the active site.

- In competitive inhibition, an inhibitor molecule competes with a substrate by binding to the enzyme ‘s active site so the substrate is blocked.
- In non-competitive inhibition (also known as allosteric inhibition), an inhibitor binds to an allosteric site; the substrate can still bind to the enzyme, but the enzyme is no longer in the optimal position to catalyze the reaction.
- Allosteric inhibitors induce a conformational change that changes the shape of the active site and reduces the affinity of the enzyme’s active site for its substrate.
- Allosteric activators induce a conformational change that changes the shape of the active site and increases the affinity of the enzyme’s active site for its substrate.
- allosteric site: A site other than the active site on an enzyme.
There are more types of inhibitors besides competitive and noncompetitive ones. Among these non-covalent types of inhibitors that follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics, another type is uncompetitive. Such an inhibitor binds only in the presence of substrate. There are also mixed-type inhibitors and alternate substrates. Products of the reaction can also be inhibitors, particularly when they closely resemble the substrates.
There are various types of inhibitors that do not follow M-M kinetics. There are slow, tight binders that transition from lower to higher affinity over time. There are covalent inhibitors that form a covalent bond with the enzyme and block its activity.
Some complicated enzymes have inhibitors that work in complicated ways. A good example is topoisomerase poisons. Topoisomerases are enzymes that relieve or introduce supercoiling into DNA, or decatenate linked circles of DNA. They work by breaking open the DNA backbone and forming a covalent bond to it, passing one strand of DNA through another (or one part of a strand through another part) using a gating mechanism, then reforming the backbone. Poisons trap the enzyme-DNA covalent intermediate, resulting ultimately in double-stranded breaks. Ribosome inhibiting antibiotics have various mechanisms of action that block protein translation.
Some potent poisons are not enzyme inhibitors. Various antimicrobial compounds disrupt the cell membrane (e.g. polymyxins), or collapse transmembrane electrochemical gradients by shuttling ions across the membrane. For example, gramicidin forms an ion channel in the membrane.
Many substances can reduce enzymatic activity, by a variety of mechanisms. First, there are substances that unspecifically destroy the structure of the enzyme (acids, bases, organic solvents, caotropes...). Other substances cause specific effects, we distinguish those that chemically modify the enzyme (inactivators like aspirin or penicillin) from those that are in a binding-dissociation equilibrium (inhibitors). Experimentally, the distinction is simple, inhibitors can be removed by dialysis or gel filtration, inactivators can't.
Limiting the discussion to inhibitors, we distinguish 4 types:
- Competitive: the inhibitor reacts only with the free enzyme, not the enzyme substrate complex (EI ⇋ E ⇋ ES → EP, for ease of writing I left out the free ligands from this equation). The enzyme binds either the inhibitor, or the substrate, but not both. Note: Many textbooks claim that competitive inhibitors bind to the active site. This is not necessarily the case. If the inhibitor binds to the active site, the inhibition will be necessarily competitive, as no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time. However, if inhibitor binding at a site distant from the active site results in structural changes that prevent substrate binding (and vice versa), the mechanism will also be competitive. Because the interaction is regulated by binding equilibria, inhibition even at very high [I] can be competed by increasing [S], that is, Vmax stays constant. In a Lineweaver-Burk-plot you get lines crossing the y-axis in a single point, 1/Vmax. Examples for medical use: ethanol or Fomepizole in methanol poisoning, the chemotherapeutic methotrexate or the sulphonamides).
- Uncompetitive: the inhibitor binds only to the ES complex, not the free E (E ⇋ ES ⇋ ESI). In this case, increasing the substrate concentration increases the apparent affinity for the inhibitor. In an LBp you see parallel lines. Uncompetitive inhibition is rare and occurs only in oligomeric enzymes.
- Noncompetitive: Inhibitor can bind to both free enzyme and the enzyme substrate complex (IES ⇋ IE ⇋ E ⇋ ES ⇋ IES), but only the ES, not the IES complex can form product. In a LBp you will see lines intersecting on a common point left of the y-axis. If we denote the binding constant of inhibitor with the free enzyme as Ki and that with ES as Kii, then depending on the ratio of Ki/Kii this intersection will be on, above or below the x-axis. Contrary to what many textbooks claim, noncompetitive inhibition is not restricted to Ki = Kii, that is, intersection on the x-axis. Note that if we denote the binding of substrate to the free enzyme with Ks, and that to EI with Kss, then Ks/Kss = Ki/Kii = alpha (law of micro-reversibility). Example: Acetazolamide against high eye pressure or altitude sickness.
- Partial inhibition is a form of non-competitive inhibition where the IES-complex has remaining enzymatic activity. In a LBp you see curves, not straight lines. Partial inhibition is of little medical use, either you want the enzyme dead or you don't ;-).
I have covered this in much more details in my Fundamentals of protein structure and function, another useful book especially for somebody who wants to work in enzyme kinetics is Bisswanger's Enzyme kinetics: Theory and methods, or (even more advanced) Cook & Cleland's: Enzyme kinetics and mechanism.
The main difference is that the competitive inhibitor binds directly to the active site of the enzyme. This therefore prevents the substrate from binding to the enzyme and forming the enzyme-substrate complex. It is directly competing with the substrate. While the non-competitive inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is NOT the active site. In doing so, it alters the conformation of the active site, meaning that the substrate can no longer bind to the active site on the enzyme. Competitive inhibition can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate. This cannot occur with non-competitive inhibition.
Competitive inhibitors are molecules which are very similar to the enzymes natural substrate, and thus compete for the active site. As a result, the the inhibitor binds to the active site and remains their, preventing further reactions.
The enzyme may react with the inhibitor and release the products as it would usually do to its substrate, thus the inhibitor and substrate compete for the active site.
Non-Competitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site of the enzyme (A site on the enzyme which is not the active one). This results in a conformational change of the protein, distorting the active site and thus is unable to bind the substrate. So long as the non-competitive inhibitor is bound, the enzyme remains inactive.
Nasr Fawzy Nasr, Nardis Nkoudou Ze : This is a common textbook error. Competitive inhibition may, but need not occur at the active site of an enzyme. Competitive means only that I and S cannot bind at the same time, not that they share the same binding site. See my comments above and the literature cited.
Narsr Fawzy i agree with you.
in my comment, i understand by sharing the same binding site not means that both I and S are in active site at the same time. it simply means that they compete for the same site.

I completely agree with Dr E. Buxbaum, As a matter of fact a partial competitive behaviour can be theoretically obtained in which the ES and EIS complexes exist and they are equally active. Hence in the presence and in the absence of Inhibitor the same Vmax values are obtained as it correspond to a competitive inhibitor. The Km in the presence of Inhibitor (related to the dissociation constant of S from the EIS complex) is higher than that estimated in the absence of Inhibitor (dissociation of S from the ES complex). The inhibition is partial because the Km estimated in the presence of Inhibitor increases asintotically with the Inhibitor concentration to a finite value related to the dissociation constant of S from the EIS complex and not to infinite (as it happens with a linear full inhibitor).
Hence this is a clear example of a molecule that binds at a site different than the active site behaves in a competitive manner.
In summary: i) a competitive inhibitor increases Km and it does not change Vmax; ii) a non competitive inhibitor decreases Vmax and two Km values (Km and Km') can be estimated in the presence and in the absence of inhibitor, respectively.
Competitive: Km - Increases, Vmax & and 1/2Vmax- Stays the same. Enzymes remain functional and because of this, a high substrate concentration will "drown" out the inhibitor. It does not necessarily need to be in the active site of enzyme. Just that the inhibitor and substrate relationship is concentration-dependent.
Noncompetitive: Vmax - Decreases. Km is roughly the same (I say roughly). This is because a number of enzymes become nonfunctional (decreasing the active enzyme concentration). The ones that are active still function roughly the same.
