Uncompetitive Inhibition:

  • Sometimes, the binding of the substrate to the active site changes the conformation of the enzyme.
  • This creates an allosteric site which was not present prior to the binding of the substrate.
  • An inhibitor can bind to this site and cause inhibition.
  • It cannot be overcome by increasing substrate concentration.
