Statement I: | Competitive inhibitor closely resembles the substrate in its molecular structure |
Statement II: | In spite of its close structural similarity with the substrate, the inhibitor does not compete with the substrate for the substrate-binding site of the enzyme. |
Statement III: | Inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by succinate which closely resembles the substrate malonate in structure is an example of competitive inhibition. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is correct |

3. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is incorrect |
Assertion (A): | The effect of competitive inhibition can be overcome by increasing the substrate of the enzyme. |
Reason (R): | The presence of a competitive inhibitor can decrease the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reaction by blocking the substrate from binding to the enzyme. |
