This document discusses competitive enzyme inhibition. It begins by defining enzymes and inhibitors, noting that inhibitors reduce the rate of enzymatic reactions by blocking the enzyme without destroying it. It then classifies inhibitors based on reversibility and competitiveness. Specifically, it explains that competitive inhibitors are reversible and compete with the substrate for binding at the active site of the enzyme. This reduces the effective concentration of substrate and lowers the reaction rate. The document provides examples of competitive inhibition kinetics and graphs to illustrate the effect on reaction rates.
