In competitive inhibition the relation Km and Vmax is one of the following -: (A) Km and Vmax are the same, (B) Km increases and Vmax is the same, (C) Km decreases and Vmax increases, (D) Km and Vmax decreases
Answer is B. Ans. is 'b' i.e., Km increase and Vmax is the same Competitive inhibition-Km is high Vmax is sameNon Competitive inhibition-Vmax lowered Km unaltered Type of inhibitorKmVmaxReversible inhibbitor o CompetitiveIncreasedNo effecto Non-competitiveNo effectDecreasedo UncompititiveDecreasedDecreasedIrrversible inhibitor (same as reversible competitive)No effectDecreased
