Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

The apparent Km decreases in the presence of inhibitor by a factor α

TuteeHUB · Answer

It is a common type of irreversible inhibition

TuteeHUB · Answer

In the presence of a competitive inhibitor, the Michaelis-Menten equation becomes$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} [S]}{α K_m+[S]} $

TuteeHUB · Answer

The apparent Km decreases in the presence of inhibitor by a factor α
