Inhibition of Succinic dehydrogenase enzyme by malonate is a classical example of

  1. A Feedback inhibition
  2. B Competitive inhibition
  3. C Enzyme activation
  4. D Cofactor inhibition
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Competitive inhibition

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Correct answer is option (\(2\)) because malonate shows close structural similarity with the substrate and it competes with the substrate for the substrate binding site of the enzyme succinic dehydrogenase. Option (\(1\)), (\(3\)) and (\(4\)) are incorrect as enzyme activation, co-factor inhibition are not showing structural similarity with substrate.
