Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
1. | A competitive inhibitor reacts reversibly with the enzyme to form an enzyme inhibitor. |
2. | In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor molecule is not chemically changed by the enzyme. |
3. | The competitive inhibitor does not affect the rate of breakdown of the enzyme-substrate complex. |
4. | The presence of the competitive inhibitor decreases the km of the enzyme for the substrate. |
1. | only an unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached. |
2. | a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached. |
3. | a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a phosphate group which is also attached to a glycerol molecule. |
