Identify the inhibition type if Km increases from 2mM to 6mM while Vmax stays constant.
QUESTION
Identify the inhibition type if Vmax decreases from 100 to 50 while Km remains unchanged.
QUESTION
Identify the inhibition type if both Km and Vmax decrease by the same factor in the presence of inhibitor.
