Inhibitors are molecules or compounds that can selectively bind to a specific target, such as an enzyme or receptor, and prevent its activity. Inhibitors are widely used in research and drug development to study the function of specific proteins and to develop new therapies for various diseases. They can be classified into different categories based on their mechanism of action, such as competitive, non-competitive, and uncompetitive inhibitors. Inhibitors play a crucial role in understanding biological processes and developing targeted treatments for a wide range of conditions, including cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders.
