Inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is said to be competitive why? |
| Answer» In the presence of\xa0malonate, increase the concentration of the normal substrate and see\xa0whether\xa0the rate of reaction increases. If it does,\xa0malonate is a competitive inhibitor. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase: malonate binds to the active site of the enzyme without reacting, and so competes with succinate, the usual substrate of the enzyme.en water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. | |
