How might a change of one amino acid at a site, distant from the active site of an enzyme, alter the substrate specificity of an

enzyme? by changing the optimum ph for the enzyme by changing the stability of the enzyme by changing the binding site for a noncompetitive inhibitor by changing the three-dimensional conformation of the enzyme?

<span>The correct answer is: by changing the three-dimensional conformation of the enzyme.</span>
 Enzymes like all the other proteins are shaped by interactions between their amino acids and when those interactions change, the 3D structure of the enzyme changes (tertiary structure). A change in shape will change the shape of the active site and the substrate cannot bind.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

can ,synthesize specific proteins

Explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals secreted by animals and plant that are capable of regulating body activities and maintain homeostasis.

They are transported in the circulatory system of the body

The action of hormones can be seen after the hormone has bound to its specific receptor found inside the cell.

For instance, steroid hormone and the thyroid hormones can pass through the plasma membrane to their receptors inside the cells.

When they bind with their receptors, the target cells will synthesize specific proteins that produce the characteristic effect of the hormone.

baherus [9]
The main function of the respiratory system is to allow the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the lungs.
Hence,the only structure that carries out this function is the alveoli as other structures such as the nose,trachea and pharynx transport gases to the alveoli just so that it can can out its function.

Why is Catalase important to the body?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Catalase behaves as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Explanation:

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that plays a very important role in the protection against oxidative damage by breaking down hydrogen peroxide. It is a very highly conserved enzyme that has been identified from numerous species including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals.

Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers for all known enzymes (40,000,000 molecules/second). This high rate shows an importance for the enzymes capability for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide and preventing the formation of carbon dioxide bubbles in the blood.
