The inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of:
1. Non-competitive reversible inhibition
2. Non-competitive irreversible inhibition
3. Competitive inhibition
4. Allosteric inhibition
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 |
2. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct; Statement III is incorrect |
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): | In competitive enzyme inhibition, the inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding. |
Reason (R): | Competitive inhibitors structurally resemble the substrate, allowing them to bind reversibly to the active site and reduce the enzyme's activity without affecting the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the reaction. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
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. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | In competitive enzyme inhibition, the substrate and inhibitor cannot bind to the enzyme at the same time. |
II: | The inhibitor always has a much higher affinity for the active site than the normal substrate. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
