NEET Previous Year Question

Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action

Topic: NEET PYQ

Answer: B. Full step-by-step solution below.

  2. BAddition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of Succinic dehydrogenase by malonate
  3. CA non – competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate
  4. DMalonate is a competitive inhibitor of Succinic dehydrogenase

Correct answer: B

Solution

(b) Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. Therefore, increasing the concentration of succinate (substrate) can overcome/reverse the inhibition.
