Teaching MPPSC Assistant Professor Mock Test Series 2025 Life Sciences Biochemistry Enzymes and Enzyme kinetics
In a study of enzyme kinetics, the presence of a non-competitive inhibitor is found to affect the reaction kinetics of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. What is the primary effect of this type of inhibition?
1
It decreases both Km and Vmax.
2
It decreases Vmax without affecting Km.
3
It increases Km without affecting Vmax.
4
It has no effect on either Km or Vmax.
