inhibiciót
Inhibición is a biological process where the activity of a cell, organ, or biological response is reduced or prevented. This can occur through various mechanisms. In neuroscience, for example, inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA bind to receptors on neurons, making them less likely to fire an action potential. This is crucial for controlling neural activity, preventing overexcitation, and allowing for complex processing.
In enzymology, inhibition refers to the binding of a molecule, an inhibitor, to an enzyme, which decreases
Cellular processes can also be subject to inhibition. For instance, cell cycle progression can be inhibited
