Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxin that can be extracted from the puffer fish and several bacterial species. Tetrodotoxin can binds with the voltage gated sodium channels present in the nerve cells and inhibits the movement of sodium ions into the neuron.

Tetrodotoxin may result in loss of sensation and causes paralysis as the signal transmission is inhibited in the muscle tissue due to lack of action potential.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The characteristics of the active site microenvironment of an enzyme can be largely independent of individual catalytic mechanis
Valentin [98]

Answer: (1) Providing an optimized orientation of the substrate.

(2) Decreasing the ∆G in reaction.

(3) Excluding excess water.

Explanation: The active sites of enzymes increase the rate of reaction because they decrease the activation energy of the reaction,and the physical microenvironment provides an optimal orientation of the substrate relative to reactive functional groups while excluding excess solvent,such as water.

Although some active sites may have amino acids that form salt bridges with the amino acids from a substrate,not all do, so this is not a generic strategy of active site microenvironments
