Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action.
- ASubstrate binds with enzyme at its active site.
- BAddition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate.
- CA non-competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate.
- DMalonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase.

Correct answer: B
Inhibitions of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of competitive inhibition. Thus it is a reversible reaction. On increasing the substrate (succinate) concentration the effect of inhibitor is removed and Vmax remains same.
