Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Competitive Inhibitor Notes:
Competitive inhibitors are from the category of enzymes called reversible inhibitors. Reversible inhibitors dissociate the enzyme-inhibitor complex. They usually bind directly to the enzyme's active site but can also bind between a substrate and an enzyme. Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate so that I can bind with the enzyme.
