Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action.

Addition of lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate
A non- competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at asite distinct from that which binds as the substrate

Which one of the following is a non-reducing carbohydrate?
Maltose
Sucrose
Lactose
Lactose
B.
Sucrose
Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose 8 fructose. It is a non- reducing sugar as it do not contain any free anomeric c arbon atom. Maltose is a disaccharide of 2 glucose units. Its first glucose residue cannot undergo oxidation, whereas, second residue can undergo oxidation because it has a reactive free anomeric carbon atom. Hence, it is a reducing sugar.
Lactose and ribose - 5- phosphate are also reducing in nature due to the presence of a free ketonic or aldehyde group.
