The process of transcription will b stopped. Sigma factors are responsible for determining the specificity of promoter-DNA binding by polymerase and control how efficiently RNA synthesis (transcription) is initiated. High temperatures probably interfere with the structure of the sigma protein and change the conformation of the active site that binds to the rna polymerase.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

chaperonins

Members of the Hsp60 family (also called chaperonins) facilitate the folding of proteins into their native conformations. Each chaperonin consists of 14 subunits of approximately 60 kilodaltons (kd) each, arranged in two stacked rings to form a “double doughnut” structure

If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substrate, the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is to:a. add m
Simora [160]

Answer:

a. add more of the enzyme

Explanation:

Enzymes have specific sites to which their substrates bind during the reaction. These sites are called active sites. When all the active sites of all the enzyme molecules present in a solution are bound to the substrate molecules, the enzyme is said to be saturated with the substrate. Under these conditions, more enzyme molecules are to be added to the solution to increase the reaction rate and to obtain the product at a fast rate. The addition of more enzymes will allow more substrate molecules to occupy the active sites and to be converted into the product/s.
