Allosteric inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to a site on an enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Noncompetitive inhibition, on the other hand, involves a molecule binding to the enzyme at a site other than the active site, which does not change the enzyme's shape but still reduces its activity.
