Malonate is inhibited by succinate dehydrogenase. This is a type of
Options
- Anon-competitive inhibition
- Bcompetitive inhibition
- Cnegative feed back
- Dallosteric inhibition
Correct answer
B. competitive inhibition
Step-by-step solution
In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor is structurally similar to the substrate and both compete with each other to bind to active site of the enzyme. Malonate is an inhibitor that is structurally similar to substrate succinic acid. Both competes to occupy active site of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase.
