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

CLAM is like the craziest of them all I swear. Forced myself to never look into it again.
