In a particular enzyme, an alanine residue is located in a cleft where the substrate binds. A mutation that changes this residue

to a glycine has little effect on activity; however, another mutation, which changes the alanine to a glutamate residue, leads to a complete loss of activity. Provide a brief explanation for these observations.

5 0

Explanation:

There are non-polar side chains also present in alanine. And, these non-polar side chains are involved in some hydrophobic interactions in active sideand then it changes into polar amino acid glutamate that will destroy the hydrophobic interaction.

Whereas in glycine there is only hydrogen present in the side chain therefore, it will not affect much.

galina1969 [7]
J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

A property of a particle that affects<br> how it behaves around other particles
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

An elementary particle can be one of two groups: a fermion or a boson. Fermions are the building blocks of matter and have mass, while bosons behave as force carriers for fermion interactions and some of them have no mass. The Standard Model is the most accepted way to explain how particles behave, and the forces that affect them. According to this model, the elementary particles are further grouped into quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons, with the Higgs boson having a special status as a non-gauge boson.
