Q. Asa measure of affinity of the enzymes-substrate reaction, which among the following is true in the presence of a competitive inhibitor?

$K_{m}$ , will remain same, but $V_{ma x}$ will increase

$K_{m}$ will increase, but $V_{ma x}$ remains same

$K_{m}$ will increase, but $V_{ma x}$ remains unaltered

$K_{m}$ and $V_{ma x}$ will increase

Correct answer is (c) $K_{m}$ will increase, but $V_{ma x}$ remains unaltered

Km​, will remain same, but Vmax​ will increase

Km​ will increase, but Vmax​ remains same

Km​ will increase, but Vmax​ remains unaltered

Km​ and Vmax​ will increase

Correct answer is (c) Km​ will increase, but Vmax​ remains unaltered

$K_{m}$ , will remain same, but $V_{ma x}$ will increase

$K_{m}$ will increase, but $V_{ma x}$ remains same

$K_{m}$ will increase, but $V_{ma x}$ remains unaltered

$K_{m}$ and $V_{ma x}$ will increase

Correct answer is (c) $K_{m}$ will increase, but $V_{ma x}$ remains unaltered
