what is competitive inhibition
compete with active sitwe
who gets there first
what is non-competitive inhibition
allosteric site-change configuration
what is an allosteric site
not an active site
does not fit perfectly
what are REDOX reactions
primary reactions of metabolism
reduction anf oxidation
