A) decrease km
B) decrease \[{{V}_{\max }}\]
C) increase km
D) increase \[{{V}_{\max }}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Competitive inhibitors are substances similar to a substrate for a specific enzyme. It actively competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of an enzyme. As a result, the substrate do not binds and enzymes action declines. In this kind of inhibition, the \[{{V}_{\max }}\]remains contant (unchanged) and km value increases, e.g, malonic acid is competitive inhibitor of succinic acid.
