An example of an inhibitor is a preservative.

Preservatives are added to foods to slow down the growth of bacteria and fungi. The preservatives prevent bacteria and fungi from producing substances that can spoil food.

Some antibiotics are examples of inhibitors also. For example, penicillin prevents certain kinds of bacteria from making a cell wall .So, the bacteria die.

How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors differ in their mechanisms of action and impact on enzyme activity?

Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate for the enzyme's active site, while noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a different site on the enzyme. Competitive inhibitors can be overcome by increasing substrate concentration, while noncompetitive inhibitors cannot. Both types of inhibitors reduce enzyme activity, but competitive inhibitors specifically affect the binding of the substrate, while noncompetitive inhibitors can alter the enzyme's shape or function.

Are antimalarial and antiviral the same drug?

Short answer: No.Antivirals inhibit the lytic cycle of viruses. Malaria is caused by the protist Plasmodium. Technically, viruses aren't even alive, while protists are eukaryotes (nucleus-containing cells) like us. Thus, the two are extremely different.The number of drugs that are used as antimalarials or antivirals is too high to be worth going over. Quinine, chloroquine, and sulfadoxine are examples of antimalarials. Antiviral classes include entry inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, and neuraminidase inhibitors (that last one is specific to influenza).
