Inhibitorsand is not a standard term in science, so this article treats inhibitors in a broad sense across chemistry and biology. Inhibitors are substances that decrease the activity of a target, such as an enzyme, receptor, or chemical process. They may reduce reaction rates by occupying active sites, altering molecular conformation, or causing irreversible chemical modification. Inhibitors can act reversibly or irreversibly, and their potency is described by parameters such as IC50, Ki, and the type of inhibition.
Categories and mechanisms include a range of inhibitors used in research and medicine. Enzyme inhibitors can
Applications and considerations involve both practical use and safety. In research, inhibitors help dissect biological pathways
