Inhibitor
An inhibitor is a type of effector (biology) that decreases or prevents a chemical reaction. They are often called negative catalysts. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Inhibitors are often used as medicines to decrease the rate of enzyme mediated reactions, but they can also act as poisons. Other examples include antioxidants and antipolymerization agents. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A corrosion inhibitor is added to antifreeze (coolant) used in engines, hydraulic fluids, boiler water, fuels, and many other industrial fluids. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Effector (biology): An effector is a small molecule that binds to a protein and thereby alters the activity of that protein. A modulator molecule binds to a regulatory site during allosteric modulation and allosterically modulates the shape of the protein.... Chemical reaction: A chemical reaction is a process involving one, two or more substances (called reactants), characterized by a chemical change and yielding one or more product(s) which are different from the reactants. Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that strictly involve the motion of electrons,... Catalysts: REDIRECT Catalysis... | ~ Table of Content ~
