[2025-10-01T19:21:02.339916] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing acetazolamide effects**

I'm considering the question around acetazolamide, which is a non-competitive inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase. I understand that non-competitive inhibition decreases Vmax without affecting Km, so option A correctly states the decrease in Vmax, while option D incorrectly suggests no change. It's straightforward, but I'd still want to back this up with citations. I could reference the "Lehninger 2008" textbook and look for relevant evidence on PubMed for confirmation. A quick search could help validate this.
