So let's begin by discussing each one of these processes, beginning with competitive inhibition. Now, in competitive inhibition, our inhibitor molecule, or ion, actually binds to the active side of that enzyme because the structure of our inhibitor actually resembles the structure of our substrate. Now, since the active side is occupied by that inhibitor, that means momentarily our enzyme will no longer be active and that substrate will no longer be able to bind into the active side of the enzyme because that inhibitor will be found inside that active side. So this situation is described in this diagram. So we have the enzyme, we have the substrate shown in green, we have the inhibitor shown in purple, and we have this whole is our active side. So let's imagine we have a one to one ratio of substrate to inhibitor.
