Your body is full of enzymes that do various things for you. They aid in performing chemical reactions. But, if you put something in your body (like a drug or toxin), the enzymes can get messed up and not work.
So, enzyme inhibition means that an enzyme is being inhibited (messed up) by something.

What happens when a protein is inhibited?
When a enzyme is inhibited (many proteins are enzymes), it just means that the enzyme will be reduced in its ability to catalyze a reaction. There are a few types of Inhibition like Competitive Inhibition, Noncompetitive Inhibition, and Irreversible Inhibition.
How do you find the enzyme inhibition constant?
Ki = [I]/alpha - 1
Regulatory device in which the product of a pathway binds to an enzyme early in the pathway?
feedback inhibition
How is biofeedback related to enzyme activity?
biofeedback is another term for feedback inhibition. google that.
What end product from a metabolic pathway binds to an enzyme involved in a reaction at the beginning of the pathway. changing the shape of the active site and preventing the enzyme from?
Feedback inhibition
What is inhibition and why enzymes need to be inhibited?
- Inhibition of an enzyme is to inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. - Because, by blocking or inhibiting an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance. Example : Inhibition of HIV protease.

What is the type of enzyme inhibition in which the Km changes but the Vmax does not?
competitive
How do you find the enzyme inhibition constant?
Ki = [I]/alpha - 1
What are the types of feedback inhibition?
There are two main types of feedback inhibition: competitive inhibition, where an inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of an enzyme; and non-competitive inhibition, where an inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme other than the active site, altering the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity.
How do most cells regulate the activity of enzymes?
Enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction. So, it would speed the cells for life and live.
What are the two types of Feedback Inhibition?
In my understanding there are three types of feedback inhibition:SIMPLE: Enzyme inhibited by single end product.CUMULATIVE: More than one end product inhibits the same enzyme. That means that each product exerts partial inhibition and inhibition is cumulative.CONCERTED: More than one end product must bind the same enzyme simultaneously for any inhibition.I !
What is a molecule occupying the active site of an enzyme so that there can be no normal enzyme-substrate complex formed called?
It is called competitive Inhibition.
Regulatory device in which the product of a pathway binds to an enzyme early in the pathway?
feedback inhibition
How is biofeedback related to enzyme activity?
biofeedback is another term for feedback inhibition. google that.
How is inhibition related to denaturation?
Inhibition is the slowing of the reaction rate so when you constantly pick up an inihbition your slowing decreasing the enzyme. Until is competely changes it shape.
What end product from a metabolic pathway binds to an enzyme involved in a reaction at the beginning of the pathway. changing the shape of the active site and preventing the enzyme from?
Feedback inhibition
