Allosteric inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Non-competitive inhibition, on the other hand, involves a molecule binding to the enzyme at a site other than the active site, but still affecting the enzyme's activity without changing its shape.
