Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
1. | In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor molecule is not chemically changed by the enzyme. |
2. | The competitive inhibitor does not affect the rate of breakdown of the enzyme-substrate complex. |
3. | The presence of the competitive inhibitor decreases the Km of the enzyme for the substrate. |
4. | A competitive inhibitor reacts reversibly with the enzyme to form an enzyme-inhibitor complex. |

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