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

A

Substrate binds with enzyme at its active site to form enzyme substrate complex.

B

Addition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate.

C

A noncompetitive inhibitor cannot bind the active site of the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate .

D

Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the provided options regarding enzyme action and identify which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Enzyme Action**: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy. They have specific sites called active sites where substrates bind to form an enzyme-substrate complex. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Substrate binds with enzyme at its active site to form enzyme-substrate complex." - This statement is correct. The substrate indeed binds to the active site of the enzyme to form an enzyme-substrate complex. - **Option 2**: "Addition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate." - This statement is incorrect. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase. In competitive inhibition, increasing the concentration of the substrate (succinate) can overcome the inhibition caused by malonate. Therefore, this statement does not hold true. - **Option 3**: "A non-competitive inhibitor cannot bind the active site of the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate." - This statement is correct. Non-competitive inhibitors bind to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, which does not prevent substrate binding but inhibits the enzyme's activity. - **Option 4**: "Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase." - This statement is also correct. Malonate competes with succinate for the active site of succinic dehydrogenase. 3. **Conclusion**: The option that is not correct with respect to enzyme action is **Option 2**: "Addition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate." ### Final Answer: **Option 2** is the incorrect statement regarding enzyme action. ---
