Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malonate is a structural analog of succinate, meaning it has a similar shape and can bind to the substrate-binding site of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. However, it cannot undergo the same oxidation reaction as succinate because it lacks certain chemical groups necessary for the reaction. Therefore, choice A and B are both correct. Malonate itself does not undergo any common oxidation reaction, so choice C is incorrect. Therefore, the best answer is D, Both A and B.
