Which inhibition cannot be reversed by increasing substrate concentration?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Non-competitive inhibition
Non-competitive inhibition cannot be reversed by increasing substrate concentration because the inhibitor binds at a separate allosteric site. It decreases Vmax while leaving Km unchanged.
