Enzyme Inhibition Enzyme inhibition refers to the ability to reduce or lose the activity of the enzyme, but does not cause the denaturation of the enzyme protein. Enzyme inhibition is mainly caused by changes in the chemical properties of the essential groups of the enzyme. Compounds that cause enzyme inhibition are called inhibitors. It should be noted that enzyme inhibition is different from enzyme inactivation, and inhibitors are also different from denaturants. Enzyme inhibition includes reversible inhibition and irreversible inhibition. Creative Enzymes Inc. www.creative-enzymes.com
