What type of inhibitor fits into an enzymes active site?

In: Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

This would be a competitive inhibitor. It can be a structural analog of the substrate. This type of inhibition can be out competed by adding more substrate. A competitive inhibitor increases the Km of the enzyme.
