Examples Of Non Competitive Inhibitors
There are competitive and non-competitive inhibitors. Both of them slow down the reaction. Competitive inhibitors are molecules that are shaped a lot like the substrate. They bind to the active site and stop the substrate from connecting. Non-competitive inhibitors connect to the enzyme in a place that is not the active site. Causing the active site to change shape. Inhibitors and catalysts are both used in everyday life.
One example of how catalysts are used in everyday life is that catalysts take away from the amount of poisonous gas coming from cars. This happens in a catalytic converter. In the catalytic converter, the rhodium (a kind of metal) converts the nitrogen oxide back to nitrogen and the platinum converts the unburned hydrocarbons
