What is an Enzyme inhibitor
An��enzyme inhibitor��is a��molecule��that binds to an��enzyme��and blocks its��activity. Enzymes are��proteins��that speed up��chemical reactions��necessary for��life, in which��substrate molecules��are converted into��products. An enzyme��facilitates��a specific chemical reaction by binding the substrate to its��active site, a specialized area on the enzyme that accelerates the��most difficult step of the reaction.
