Reply to comment by -Metacelsus- in What exactly is going on when a protein (or other molecule) binds with a receptor? by Eat-A-Torus

Is a competetive inhibitor the same as a competetive antagonist?

Sort of yes. They both “block” something but inhibitor is often talked about in reference to enzymes while the latter is normally in reference to a receptor.

Competitive binding means it binds in the same place as the endogenous ligand.
