Enzymes and their substrates are sometimes referred to as the lock and key model. what does this tell you about enzyme behavior

Biology
1 answer:
gayaneshka [121]3 years ago
4 0
This tells us about the specificity of enzymes.

Since in the lock and key model, the lock is only suitable for one key to unlock, only one pattern of key is able to do that, so, to compare it with enzymes, it means that the active site of enzyme is only suitable to bind one type of substrate to it, not other substrates.

We call this property of enzyme the specificity of enzyme. If the active site of an enzyme is changed or loss its three dimensional patterns, it can no longer function as a biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions.

"ricin inhibits the functioning of ribosomes. What part of protein synthesis would be affected by ricin? What effect would this
kondor19780726 [428]

Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.

Are all frogs poisonous? someone help I will give brainliest for the right answer.​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

single "golden poison frog" harbours enough poison to kill 10 grown men, making these frogs perhaps the most poisonous animals alive. They are one of many species of toxic frogs, which are known as poison dart frogs. They are all small: the largest are no more than 6cm long, and some are just 1.5 cm. How did these tiny, beautiful creatures become so poisonous,

HELPPPPP<br> how could changing one mRNA codon change a protein?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

the outcome of a frame shift mutation is complete alteration of the amino acid sequence of a protein. This alteration occurs during translation because ribosomes read the mRNA strand in terms of condons,or groups of three nucleotides. theses groups are called the reading frame.

Explanation:

hope that helps.:)
