Record 3 2010-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Morphology and General Physiology
  • Toxicology
CONT

By inhibition we mean the arrest of the functions of a structure or organ, by the action upon it of another, while its power to execute those functions is still retained, and can be manifested as soon as the restraining power is removed.

DEF

Restricción o detención de la función de un órgano por estímulo de una parte lejana, por mediación nerviosa u hormonal

CONT

La actividad enzimática puede inhibirse de varias formas. Por ejemplo, entre las enzimas que requieren como activador un metal específico, cualquier agente que desplace o haga inactivo al metal inactivará a la enzima en el mismo grado [...] Otra forma común de inhibición enzimática es la competencia de la enzima con una sustancia cuya estructura sea lo suficientemente parecida a la del sustrato natural, pero que no llena los requerimientos espaciales de la enzima.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

The decrease in rate of reaction brought about by the addition of a substance (inhibitor), by virtue of its effect on the concentration of a reactant, catalyst or reaction intermediate. For example, molecular oxygen and p-benzoquinone can act as inhibitors in many reactions involving radicals as intermediates by virtue of their ability to act as scavengers toward these radicals.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

Diminution de la vitesse de réaction, provoquée par l'addition d'une substance (inhibiteur) en vertu de son effet sur la concentration d'un réactif, d'un catalyseur ou d'un intermédiaire réactionnel. Par exemple, par suite de leur aptitude à piéger les radicaux, l'oxygène et la p-benzoquinone peuvent agir comme inhibiteurs des réactions radicalaires.
