  • In noncompetitive inhibition (also known as allosteric inhibition), an inhibitor binds to an allosteric site; the substrate can still bind to the enzyme, but the enzyme is no longer in optimal position to catalyze the reaction.
  • Allosteric inhibitors induce a conformational change that changes the shape of the active site and reduces the affinity of the enzyme’s active site for its substrate.
