Necrotrophs are Opportunistic, unspecialised (‘non-obligate’) pathogens and Host cells killed rapidly

Entry unspecialised via wounds or natural openings

Secrete copious cell-wall-degrading (lytic) enzymes and toxins

Appressoria/haustoria not normally produced

Wide host range

Easy to culture axenically

Survive as competitive saprotrophs

Controlled by jasmonate- and ethylene-dependent host-defence pathways

Uncompetitive inhibitors bind only to the enzyme-substrate complex and not to the free enzyme.

In neither case does the inhibitor compete with the substrate for the same binding site, so the inhibition cannot be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration.

Substrate-binding could cause a conformational change to take place in the enzyme and reveal an inhibitor binding site, or the inhibitor could bind directly to the enzyme-bound substrate.

In the simplest possible model, simple linear non-competitive inhibition, the substrate does not affect inhibitor-binding.
