No I dont think it can, because,

and NC I bonds with a covalent bond and this has to be near the binding site.

[could it bind somewhere near and just distort the site ie allosterically}

and so if it is on the site and covalently,
then it will stop the binding of the target AND all related mols.
It's not impossible. I suggest you look up allosteric inhibition for further information.

I'm afraid not. I tend to confine myself to sensible reading as I'm of the opinion that such publications can rot the brain. Tell me, do you know a reader?
Probably, noknow, probably. Even intelligent people need a bit of a laugh now and again.
