Best Answer

Enzymes are proteins that make a reaction more or less likely to occur. By blocking or increasing the expression of a particular enzyme, you can either speed up or slow down a particular metabolic process.

There are also competitive inhibitors, which are enzymes that compete with other, similar enzymes to prevent an enzyme from doing its job.
