Enzyme inhibitor, a substance that binds to an enzyme and decreases the enzyme's activity; Reuptake inhibitor, a substance that increases neurotransmission by blocking the reuptake of a neurotransmitter; Lateral inhibition, a neural mechanism that increases contrast between active and (neighbouring) inactive neurons
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, ...
An inhibitor can reduce the effectiveness of a catalyst in a catalysed reaction (either a non-biological catalyst or an enzyme).E.g., if a compound is so similar to (one of) the reactants that it can bind to the active site of a catalyst but does not undergo a catalytic reaction then that catalyst molecule cannot perform its job because the active site is occupied.

Drug nomenclature is the systematic naming of drugs, especially pharmaceutical drugs.In the majority of circumstances, drugs have 3 types of names: chemical names, the most important of which is the IUPAC name; generic or nonproprietary names, the most important of which are international nonproprietary names (INNs); and trade names, which are brand names. [1]
Once the inhibitor is bound to the enzyme, the slope will be affected, as the K m either increases or decreases from the original K m of the reaction. [4] [5] [6] Most competitive inhibitors function by binding reversibly to the active site of the enzyme. [1] As a result, many sources state that this is the defining feature of competitive ...
A corrosion inhibitor or anti-corrosive is a chemical compound added to a liquid or gas to decrease the corrosion rate of a metal that comes into contact with the fluid. [1] The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition and dynamics .
Reuptake inhibitors (RIs) are a type of reuptake modulators. It is a drug that inhibits the plasmalemmal transporter -mediated reuptake of a neurotransmitter from the synapse into the pre-synaptic neuron .
