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.
Effects of different types of inhibition on the double-reciprocal plot. When used for determining the type of enzyme inhibition, the Lineweaver–Burk plot can distinguish between competitive, pure non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibitors. The various modes of inhibition can be compared to the uninhibited reaction.

In the bottom diagram the non-competitive inhibition lines intersect on the x-axis, showing these inhibitors do not affect K m. However, since it can be difficult to estimate K i and K i ' accurately from such plots, [ 33 ] it is advisable to estimate these constants using more reliable nonlinear regression methods.

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.
They can also induce transient conformational changes in the active site so substrates cannot fit perfectly with it. After a short period of time, competitive inhibitors will drop off and leave the enzyme intact. Inhibitors are classified as non-competitive inhibitors when they bind both free enzyme and ES complex. Since they do not compete ...
