You have discovered an enzyme that can catalyze two different chemical reactions. Which of the following is most likely to be co

rrect?
A) The enzyme contains α-helices and β-pleated sheets.
B) The enzyme is subject to competitive inhibition and allosteric regulation.
C) Two types of allosteric regulation occur: The binding of one molecule activates the enzyme, while the binding of a different molecule inhibits it.
D) Either the enzyme has two distinct active sites or the reactants involved in the two reactions are very similar in size and shape.

The correct option is D.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of biochemical reactions in living systems by lowering the activation energy required for the reactions to occur. Enzymes take part in various reactions but they are never used up during the course of the reaction.  

Enzymes are very specific in action and will only catalyze certain reactions under optimal conditions. For a single examine to catalyze two different reactions, it implies that the enzyme either have two active sites or the molecules involve in the reaction are very similar in term of size and shape.

Many chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer work by modifying the mitotic spindle. Paclitaxel works by interfering with normal
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

by inhibiting the mitotic spindle plasticity

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the mitotic spindle is the cytoskeletal structure by which sister chromatids are separated during cell division. Spindle microtubules are known to drive chromosome segregation, while tubulins are Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs) that attach to microtubules in order to modulate their dynamics. Antimitotic drugs are nowadays widely used in chemotherapy to disrupt microtubule assembly and chromosome segregation, thereby producing mitotic arrest and cell death (apoptosis).
