Question

How does competitive inhibition differ from allosteric inhibition?

Answer 1

A competitive inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme, inducing it to assume an inactive form. Allosteric inhibition binds to the area other than the active site of the enzyme.

The confirmation of the enzyme is not changed in competitive inhibition whereas it is changed in allosteric inhibition.

Competitive inhibition doesn't have a regulatory function whereas Allosteric have a regulatory function as it stops the excess formation of the product.
