The answer is letter D. Substrate; Active Site The enzyme
itself remains unchanged. It advise the
active place of an enzyme is frequently reshaped by interactions with the
substrate until the substrate is completely bound and the chemical reaction
occurs, the lock and key model.
Answer:
Option A, a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract
Explanation:
The complete question is
If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development?
a) a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract
b) a drug to treat diabetes that irreversibly inhibits an enzyme in the metabolic pathway to synthesize glucose
c) a compound that acts as a competitive inhibitor for a digestive enzyme produced only in the presence of certain foods
d) a compound that inhibits enzymes by significantly changing the ph throughout the body
Solution
Productive avenue of a drug simply means producing an drug that not only treats the main disease or disorder but also functions to inhibit the causative agent activity. In case of option A, both the objectives of producing drug are met and hence it is the right choice.
High blood pressure usually affects the blood vessels by narrowing them and in severe cases may rupture them. If a drug as stated in option A is produced, it will not only rectify the effects of high blood pressure but will also prevent the blood vessels from narrowing by inhibiting the activity of enzymes responsible for producing chemical that leads to blood vessel contraction.
Hence, option A is correct
D, Energy decreases from bottom to top because some is used at each level for life processes.
<span>Technically you could have both influenza and bronchitis at the same time, but it is not likely. Influenza is the word for a respiratory infection caused by a virus whereas bronchitis is an infection specifically of the bronchi in the lungs. However, influenza is characterized by different symptoms from bronchitis due to the different systemic nature of influenza.</span>
