Noncompetitive, enzyme, irreversible, acetylcholinesterase, competitive, active site.1. Insecticides and nerve gases act as irreversible inhibitors of ________, an enzyme needed for nerve conduction. 2. A _________ inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate. 3. The competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the _____ on the enzyme. 4. When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme, the shape of the _______ is distorted. 5. A _________ inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site. 6. Usually, an ______ inhibitor forms a covalent bond with an amino acid side group within the active site, which prevents the substrate from entering the active site or prevents catalytic activity.
