Marjoram is a perennial herb in the mint family that grows wild in the Mediterranean region. It is used primarily as seasoning in cooked dishes but is also found in beauty and health care products. Often mistaken for oregano, marjoram is frequently called by many different names, including sweet marjoram, knotted marjoram, joy of the mountains, and wintersweet.
The structure of paclitaxel, a widely used mitotic inhibitor. A mitotic inhibitor is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division. These drugs disrupt microtubules, which are structures that pull the cell apart when it divides. Mitotic inhibitors are used in cancer treatment, because cancer cells are able to grow and eventually spread through the body (metastasize) through continuous mitotic division.
In which case, it depends on the type of inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor has a structure similar to the substrate, hence would bind to the active site as well, competing with the substrate for the enzyme active sites, decreasing enzymatic activity. A non-competitive inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme, causing a structural change in the enzyme active site shape.
