Competitive inhibition vs allosteric inhibition

In competitive the substrate and inhibitor bind at the same active site - pretty straightforward. In allosteric regulation (speaking specifically about inhibition here), the inhibitor is binding at a site other than the active site, and changing the enzyme in some way to make it inactive.
