Hello everyone.
I'm not sure if I put this in the right sub-forum. I just figured, since it is used in medicine, I could ask here.
What is an inhibitor, exactly? Is it a kind of virus? A chemical? And how exactly is it used? And what exactly does it do (I mean, I know it "inhibits" a chemical reaction from occurring, but in what way?)
I hope you guys are also easy with explaining the answers. I tried Googling the information, but the sources are overwhelmingly complicated. I'm a college sophomore, and I study political science so medicine is totally out of my league (though I'm finding it more and more interesting).
Thank you.
