Competitive Inhibitor Definition:
A competitive inhibitor directly competes with the substrate at an enzyme's catalytic site and prevents the enzyme from forming product.
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.
