In mixed noncompetitive inhibition, the binding of the inhibitor with the enzyme influences the binding of substrate with enzyme.

Mechanism:

Either the binding sites for inhibitor and substrate are near one another or conformational changes in enzyme caused by the inhibitor affect substrate binding. In this case, KI and KI’ are not equal and both Km and Vmax are altered by the presence of the inhibitor.
