Different Enzymes inhibit in different ways. Some are structural analogue of substrate and they compete the substrate in binding to the enzyme. Some inhibitors bind in the active site and prevent the binding of the enzyme. Some enzymes doesn't bind the active site but they change the active site properties that prevent the efficient binding of the substrate. some time substrate in large quantity may inhibit the enzyme, while other times the product formed may do so.

How might chemicals affect you if they acted like inhibitors during you bodily reactions?
They will slow down your body reactions
What are gastric acid inhibitors?
Gastric acid inhibitors are medications that reduce the production of stomach acid. They are different from antacids, which act on stomach acid after it has been produced and released into the stomach.
What Specialized proteins that act as catalysts for chemical reactions are?
These are called catalysts.
What are the two types of gastric acid inhibitors?
There are two types of gastric acid inhibitors, H2-receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors. H2-receptor blockers are a type of antihistamine.
What are examples of anti-catalyst substances?
they are inhibitors of chemical reactions or diminishes the activity of a catalyst. The inhibition is temporary when the poison is adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst in preference to the reactants. The Permanent poisoning is when a covalent bond is formed between the poison and the catalyst.for example volatile sulfur and volatile silicon cause permanent poisoning during many cases. Arsenic are poison to platinum. In the reaction of decomposition of H2O2 by platinum, HCN act as poison. In another case CO act as poison to copper during the reaction of hydrogen and ethylene.
How do catalysts differ from inhibitors?
Inhibitors slow down chemical reactions. Catalysts speed up reactions.
Do all chemical reactions involve catalyst or inhibitors?
no
Materials that slows down chemical reactions?
In biological chemical reactions, examples of these are called enzyme inhibitors. Enzymes speed up reactions, but enzyme inhibitors slow them down. This can be by either competing with the reactants for a spot on the enzyme, or by altering the enzyme's structure so that it does not speed up reactions anymore. In either case, enzyme inhibitors slow down chemical reactions.
What adverse reactions are possible when using proton pump inhibitors?
The proton pump inhibitors are also very safe, but have been associated with rare but severe skin reactions.
What are the substances that prevent or slow down chemical reactions?
inhibitors
What is true about enzyme inhibitors?
Enzymes are permanently changed by the reactions they catalyze
How might chemicals affect you if they acted like inhibitors during you bodily reactions?
They will slow down your body reactions
What is the difference between an inhibitor and catalyst?
Catalyst speeds up reactions, and inhibitors are used to slow down reactions.
Why negative catalyst called inhibitors?
Negative catalysts (inhibitors) are those substances (or factors) which slow down the chemical reactions by decreasing the required activation energy for the reaction, for example the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide may be slow down by adding a small amount of Glycerin in it.
Can enzyme reaction can be slowed or halted using inhibitors?
Yes, enzyme reactions can be slowed or halted using inhibitors. Inhibitors can bind to the enzyme and prevent it from binding to its substrate, thus inhibiting the reaction. There are different types of inhibitors, such as competitive inhibitors that compete with the substrate for binding to the enzyme, and non-competitive inhibitors that bind to a different site on the enzyme and alter its shape or function.
What chemical inhibitors are often used. And what chemical reactions are they used in?
An inhibitor is a substance added in a system with the goal to decrease the rate of reaction. Example: inhibitors added to decrease the rate of corrosion, inhibitors in drugs the decease the activity of an enzyme, etc.
What do you call substances that prevent certian reactions from taking place?
The most common name used is simply "inhibitors".
