What is the distinguishing feature of uncompetitive inhibition?
What is the distinguishing feature of uncompetitive inhibition?
- Inhibitor binds to the active site of enzyme
- Adding more substrate relieves inhibition
- Inhibitor binds only to enzyme-substrate complex (correct)
- Inhibitor is similar in structure to substrate
How does competitive inhibition affect Vmax and KM?
How does competitive inhibition affect Vmax and KM?
- Vmax decreases, KM decreases
- Vmax remains the same, KM increases (correct)
- Vmax increases, KM remains the same
- Vmax decreases, KM remains the same
