Diagram showing competitive inhibition. In competitive inhibition, an inhibitor that resembles the normal substrate binds to the enzyme, usually at the active site, and prevents the substrate from binding. [8] At any given moment, the enzyme may be bound to the inhibitor, the substrate, or neither, but it cannot bind both at the same time.
The apparent value of is unaffected by competitive inhibitors. Therefore competitive inhibitors have the same intercept on the ordinate as uninhibited enzymes. Competitive inhibition increases the apparent value of , or lowers substrate affinity. Graphically this can be seen as the inhibited enzyme having a larger intercept on the abscissa.

Competitive inhibitors can bind to E, but not to ES. Competitive inhibition increases K m (i.e., the inhibitor interferes with substrate binding), but does not affect V max (the inhibitor does not hamper catalysis in ES because it cannot bind to ES). [24]: 102 Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to ES. Uncompetitive inhibition decreases both K m and ...

On a Lineweaver-Burk plot, the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor is illustrated by a change in the y-intercept, defined as 1/V max. The x-intercept, defined as −1/K M, will remain the same. In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor will bind to an enzyme at the active site, competing with the substrate.
This can be competitive inhibition, uncompetitive inhibition, non-competitive inhibition or partially competitive inhibition. If the molecule induces enzymes that are responsible for its own metabolism, this is called auto-induction (or auto-inhibition if there is inhibition).

The PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil are competitive and reversible inhibitors of cGMP hydrolysis by the catalytic side of PDE5.
