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.
