To solve this problem, we need to analyze each option regarding enzyme action:Option 1: Substrate binds with enzyme at its active site. - This statement is correct. The active site of an enzyme is the region where the substrate binds and undergoes a chemical reaction.Option 2: Addition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate. - This statement is incorrect. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase. - In competitive inhibition, increasing the concentration of the substrate (succinate) can overcome the inhibition.Option 3: A non-competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate. - This statement is correct. Non-competitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site, which is different from the active site. - This binding changes the enzyme's shape and function, reducing its activity regardless of substrate concentration.Option 4: Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase. - This statement is correct. Malonate competes with succinate for the active site of succinic dehydrogenase.Therefore, the option that is not correct with respect to enzyme action is Option 2.
