how does an enzyme inhibitor work in a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme

Question

aaronq · Answer

the inhibitor binds to the substrate's binding site (that which would typically would be "attacked" by the enzyme)

anonymous · Answer

would that be the same as this? The enzyme inhibitor binds to the products of the reaction, which makes the work of the enzyme unproductive. 
or this? The enzyme inhibitor fits into the enzyme’s active site, which prevents the enzyme from catalyzing the reaction.
