What is the difference between a reversible and an irreversible inhibitor? What is the mode of action for the two most common reversible inhibitors, competitive and noncompetitive? When examined using a Lineweaver-Burk plot, how do each of these inhibitors change the plots? What information can be gained by examination of the intersection of these plots with the X and Y intercepts?

You have added an irreversible inhibitor to a sample of enzyme and substrate. At this point, the reaction has stopped completely?
You have added an irreversible inhibitor to a sample of enzyme and substrate. At this point, the reaction has stopped completely. What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme? Removing the irreversible inhibitor should get the reaction working again. Adding more substrate will increase the rate of reaction. Adding more inhibitor should get the reaction up to speed again. The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity.
