How to use "Inhibit" in context?
An inhibit is a chemical that blocks or stops the activity of a chemical or enzyme. Inhibition can also refer to the physical obstruction of a fluid flow. An enzyme can only catalyze a reaction if it is in a free and active form. The activation of the enzyme is inhibited by the presence of a inhibitor.
