What blocks enzyme activity by binding to the active site of an enzyme?
Competitive inhibitors reduce enzyme activity by binding (in competition with the enzyme's substrate) to the active site. These inhibitors may be reversible or irreversible. With reversible inhibitors, which may release the enzyme, concentrations much higher than the concentration of the substrate would be required to completely block enzyme activity, and even then one or two reactions may take place over long periods of time. With irreversible inhibitors, which permanently attach to the enzyme, enzyme activity could be completely blocked when the amount of inhibitor matches the amount of enzyme. Competitive inhibition reduces the enzymes ability to bind substrate (so it lowers the KM) but does not alter the maximum rate (very high substrate concentrations would out compete for enzyme binding).Other types of inhibitors work in other ways. Non-competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme on a site other than the active site. These too may be reversible or irreversible. Binding does not compete with substrate, so concentrations to completely block enzyme activity do not have to be as high as reversible competitive inhibitors. Non-competitive inhibition reduces the apparent maximum rate for the enzyme.Uncompetitive inhibitors bind only when the substrate is also bound to the enzyme (they bind to the enzyme-substrate complex). Both the maximum rate and substrate binding affinities appear lower.

Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme
What is Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme also called?
Angiotensin-converting enzyme

What enzyme is produced by the pancreas and the salivary glands?
Amylase is the enzyme made in the salivary glands and the pancreas. Its function is to break down complex carbohydrates, sometimes called starches.. In the mouth they are called salivary amylase and in the small intestine they are called pancreatic amylase. This enzyme is also known as ptyalin.
Do ACE inhibitors treat heart failure?
ACE inhibitors also may be used to treat congestive heart failure
How do enzymes act as markers for diseases?
Enzymes are proteins that make a reaction more or less likely to occur. By blocking or increasing the expression of a particular enzyme, you can either speed up or slow down a particular metabolic process. There are also competitive inhibitors, which are enzymes that compete with other, similar enzymes to prevent an enzyme from doing its job.
