Which of the following statements regarding enzyme inhibition is correct?
| 1. | Competitive inhibition is seen when a substrate competes with an enzyme for binding to an inhibitor protein |
| 2. | Competitive inhibition is seen when the substrate and the inhibitor compete for the active site on the enzyme |
| 3. | Non-competitive inhibition of an enzyme can be overcome by adding large amount of substrate |
| 4. | Non-competitive inhibitors often bind to the enzyme irreversibly |
In competitive inhibition:
| 1. | Inhibitor resembles the substrate in molecular structure |
| 2. | Competition between substrates and inhibitors to occupy active sites |
| 3. | Binding the inhibitors to active sites declines the enzyme action |
| 4. | All are correct |
The inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of
1. competitive inhibition
2. non-competitive inhibition
3. allosteric modulation
4. none of the above

Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action.
| 1. | Substrate binds with enzyme as its active site |
| 2. | Addition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydogenase by malonate. |
| 3. | A non-competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate |
| 4. | Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase |
