Which of the following statements regarding enzyme inhibition is correct?

Options

  1. ANon-competitive inhibition of an enzyme can be overcome by adding large amount of substrate
  2. BCompetitive inhibition is seen when a substrate competes with an enzyme for binding to an inhibition protein
  3. CCompetitive inhibition is seen when the substrate and the inhibitor compete
  4. DNon-competitive inhibitors often bind to the enzyme irreversibly

Correct answer
