How does a non-competitive activator affect enzyme activity?
Well, unlike competitive inhibitors the non-competitive inhibitors will not compete the active site of the enzyme with substrate . Instead, it will combine with the enzyme somewhere except the ative site and alter the whole shape of the enzymes therefore the active site of substrate and enzyme are not the same and therefore no enzyme-substrate complex can be formed and the enzymatic effect can't be restored becausr the enzymes are now denatured
What inhibitor binds into the active site of an enzyme not allowing the subrtate to bind?
This would be a competitive inhibitor. It can be a structural analog of the substrate. This type of inhibition can be out competed by adding more substrate. A competitive inhibitor increases the Km of the enzyme.
When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme?
The shape of the active site is distorted.
How does ethanol prevent ethylene glycol poisoning?
Ethanol serves as a competitive inhibitor which competes with glycol for the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase's active site. Thus, less glycol will be oxidised
Differences between succinate and succinate malonate?
Malonate is a competitive inhibitor preventing the substrate succinate from binding to the enzyme. The structure of succinate is comparable to that of malonate but for the ability for malonate to bind to an enzyme but then cannot further act on it creating a nonproductive complex.

Why would the reaction of a normal rate of an enzyme slow down and its substrate slow down when a competitive inhibitor is present?
because the competitive inhibitor stops the regular substrate from joining the enzyme. Its takes its place in the enzyme.
What happens to the vmax when a competitive reversible inhibitor is added to an enzyme?
The vmax stays the same as the competitive reversible inhibitor does not affect catalysis in the enzyme-substrate.
What inhibitor binds into the active site of an enzyme not allowing the subrtate to bind?
This would be a competitive inhibitor. It can be a structural analog of the substrate. This type of inhibition can be out competed by adding more substrate. A competitive inhibitor increases the Km of the enzyme.
What inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate?
Competitive inhibitor. It is termed to be an analogue. It is also known to sometimes act as a "catalytic poison".
Does a non-competitive inhibitor enhance the activity of an enzyme?
No. Remember what "inhibit" means: to hold back; restrain. Both non-competitive and competitive inhibitors affect enzymes by preventing the substrate from binding, though they differ in their methods. The opposite of an inhibitor is called an activator. So when you see the word "inhibitor," you know the functionality of the enzyme will decrease, and when you see the word "activator," you know the functionality of the enzyme will increase. The adjective before "inhibitor" or "activator" will ultimately tell you how the enzyme is inhibited or activated.
What is non-competitive enzyme inhibitor?
Competitive inhibition is where a inhibitor has a structural similarities of a substrate. Due this the inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme,where normally substrate binds. This binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme forms a EI complex instead of ES complex and thus inhibiting the catalytic activity of an enzyme. Non competitive inhibition is when inhibitor possessing same structure of substrate binds to the site other than the active site of an enzyme. The substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme. This binding of the inhibitor to the site other than an active site disturbs the normal structure of an enzyme. Thereby, lowering the catalytic activity of an enzyme.
How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitions differ?
A competitive inhibitor often binds to an enzyme's active site. Noncompetitive inhibitors usually bind to a different site on the enzyme.
What statement best describes the function of a competitive inhibitor in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
Competitive inhibitor is a substance that competes directly with a normal substrate for an enzymatic-binding site of an enzyme. Such an inhibitor usually resembles the substrate to the extent that it specifically binds to the active site of the enzyme but differs from it so as to be unreactive and therefore there will be no catalytic reaction. Some examples are: methotrexate that is competitive inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase, and malonate which structurally resembles succinate (that is converted to fumarate by succinate dehydrogenase during the citric acid cycle) but cannot be dehydrogenated.
What does the competitive inhibitor compete with?
It competes with the active site so that the enzyme that should be there is "pushed" out of the way.
What is the name of the reactant that bind to an enzyme's active site?
both substrate and competitive inhibitor
How would one overcome the effects of a competitive inhibitor on enzyme activity in the biochemical regulation of metabolic pathways?
Increase the amount of substrate for the enzyme.
