enzyme inhibition
Enzyme inhibition refers to the process of a substance, known as an inhibitor, binding to an enzyme and preventing it from carrying out its intended biological function. This inhibition can either be reversible or irreversible, and it can occur through various mechanisms such as blocking the enzyme's active site or changing its conformation.
