Which of the following statements about irreversible inhibitors is wrong?
A.
The irreversible inhibitors bind covalently with or destroy a functional group on an enzyme that is essential for the enzyme’s activity, or they form a highly stable noncovalent association.
B.
Formation of a covalent link between an irreversible inhibitor and an enzyme is a particularly ineffective way to inactivate an enzyme.
C.
Irreversible inhibitors are a useful tool for studying reaction mechanisms.
D.
Amino acids with key catalytic functions in the active site can sometimes be identified by determining which residue is covalently linked to an inhibitor after the enzyme is inactivated.
