And that's one way that we can explain how the Km actually decreases. Another way of explaining it is in the following manner. So since the total number of functional enzymes decreases and the VMAX decreases, that means we need to add a lower concentration of that substrate to actually reach V max divided by two. And that's why the Km decreases. So if we compare no inhibitor to inhibitor present, we see that the V max is lower in the presence of the inhibitor and the Km value is closer. It's more to the left side along the X axis.
