A patient is given a drug that acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis.
How will this drug affect the V_max and K_M of the enzyme reaction?
- V_max decreases, K_M increases
- V_max decreases, K_M remains unchanged
- V_max increases, K_M decreases
- V_max remains unchanged, K_M increases
