The choices are:
<span>A.  Matrix protein
B.  Hemagglutinin
C.  An ion channel
D.  Neuraminidase
</span>
The right answer is B. Hemaglutinin

Explanation:
Haemagglutinins are triangular rods. They allow the attachment of Influenzaviruses on the target cells of the respiratory tree. In the presence of red blood cells, a haemagglutination (liquid medium) is obtained.
<u>About the other components of Influenza virus:</u>Neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped spike composed of a tetramer consisting of 4 subunits of a single glycoprotein. At 37 ° C, the neuraminidase destroys the bonds (virus - cells) and thus allows the release of neoformed virions in the external environment: it is elution.
The membrane protein M and the protein subunits of the nucleocapsid are antigenic and are the basis of the classification of Influenzavirus types A, B and C. They induce the synthesis of non-protective antibodies fixing the complement.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

C. The enzyme with mutation 1 has decreased affinity for pyridoxal phosphate, whereas the enzyme with mutation 2 has lost the ability to bind to the substrates.

Explanation:

A coenzyme is an organic cofactor that binds with an enzyme in order to initiate or aid the function of the enzyme. A coenzyme binds to the active site of the enzyme (where the reaction occurs), thereby triggering its activation by modifying protein structure during the reaction. Some examples of coenzymes include Coenzyme A and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme (it is the active form of vitamin B6) that is required for the function of cystathionase. Moreover, cystathionase is an enzyme that enables cells the synthesis of cysteine from methionine (transsulfuration pathway). The binding of pyridoxal phosphate to the enzyme increases the binding affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, thereby influencing its activity. In this case, it is expected that mutation 1 reduces the binding affinity of the enzyme to the cofactor, and thereby the cofactor is required at a higher concentration to restore normal enzyme activity.
