    Irreversible inhibitors are inhibitors whose action are not reversible. They function by modifying enzyme in a covalent way leading to the formation of new functional group.

    Irreversible inhibitors are specific to certain enzymes. Examples is inhibitor that are suicidal they makes inhibitor reactive.

    Competitive inhibition are Inhibitor that are competitive in nature they resemble one of the substrate of the enzyme and are been bind to by mistake. Example is an inhibitor that resemble folate an enzyme substrate. Enzyme therefore binds to the inhibitor assuming its folate because they are identical.
