Km increases.\n\nNONCOMPETITIVE INHIBITION\n- Inhibitor binds an ALLOSTERIC site (not the active site), changing the enzyme's shape.\n- Adding more substrate does NOT overcome it.\n- Vmax: I wrote \"Vmax increases.\"\n   ** Dr. A: \"No. Vmax DECREASES in noncompetitive inhibition, because some enzyme is effectively taken out of action.
