What is meant by competitive inhibition?

 Competitive inhibition

– Substances structurally similar to enzyme substrate compete with enzyme substrate for active site on the enzyme molecule where both reversibly bind.

– fewer true substrate bind to the enzyme and so the rate is reduced or inhibited.

– this is a competitive inhibition whose degree depends on the relative amount of the substrate and inhibitor.
