A competitive inhibitor often binds to an enzyme's active site. Noncompetitive inhibitors usually bind to a different site on the enzyme.

What can effect how the enzyme and substrate come together?

Shape of substrate, shape of the enzyme, Competitive, noncompetitive and allosteric inhibitors.


Why does adding additional substrate overcome competitive but not noncompetitive inhibition?

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate to bind to the active site while a noncompetitive inhibitor binds to an allosteric site of the enzyme (one other than the active site). Thus no amount of substrate can overcome or in a sense interfere with the inhibitors binding to an allosteric site.

What kinds of oil and gas leases are there?

The BLM issues two types of leases for oil and gas exploration and development on lands owned or controlled by the Federal Government - competitive and noncompetitive. Congress passed the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 requiring that all public lands available for oil and gas leasing be offered first by competitive leasing. The BLM may issue noncompetitive leases only after the agency has offered the lands competitively at an oral auction and not received a bid. The maximum competitive lease size is 2,560 acres in the lower 48 States and 5,760 acres in Alaska. The maximum noncompetitive lease size in all States is 10,240 acres. The BLM issues both competitive and noncompetitive leases for a 10-year period. Any lease will automatically continue after that so long as - (1) There is a well on the lease capable of producing in paying quantities on it; or (2) The lease can receive an allocation of production from an off-lease well capable of producing in paying quantities.


What are the two different types of inhibition?

Increasing the temperature excessively - if an enzyme is heated too much (usually around 40°C) the enzyme will become denatured. This will prevent it from working permanently. Decreasing the temperature - decreases enzyme activity Enzyme inhibitors - heavy metals poison enzymes by binding to the active site, preventing the enzyme from binding to the substrate molecule.


Is lactose a noncompetitive inhibitor?

yes


What happens when a protein is inhibited?

When a enzyme is inhibited (many proteins are enzymes), it just means that the enzyme will be reduced in its ability to catalyze a reaction. There are a few types of Inhibition like Competitive Inhibition, Noncompetitive Inhibition, and Irreversible Inhibition.
