Using site-directed mutagenesis, you have created a mutant form of chymotrypsin that has alanine substituted for the usual serin

e at position 195. Which of the following effects would your expect to observe? a. No effect or slight increase in affinity for substrate coupled to a complete loss of enzyme activity. b. A decrease in the affinity for substrate coupled to a decrease in enzyme activity. c. An increase in the rate of peptide-bond cleavage due to an increase in the rate of acid-base catalysis. d. An increase in the rate of peptide-bond cleavage due to an increase in the rate of covalent catalysis. e. A complete loss of enzyme activity due to the inability to bind substrate

Answer:

The correct answer is - option E.

Explanation:

Serine may not be affected by the mutation as it has no part of the hydrophobic binding site so it won't affect the affinity of the binding of the substrate. The peptide bond-breaking would not occur without the catalytic end or part so the enzyme would be the complete loss of enzyme activity due to site-directed mutagenesis that is created from the chymotrypsin.

Thus, the correct answer is - option E.

TiliK225 [7]
Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.

Paladinen [302]

Answer: Positive feedback loop

Explanation:

Even before the food reaches the stomach (before ingesting it), the glands of the stomach mucosa begin to release its gastric secretion. The main characteristic of this secretion is acidity, as measured by pH (one of the physiological variables).

This acidity is a result of the presence of hydrochloric acid, which is part of the secretion composition. In addition to it, water, pepsinogen (which will give rise to the enzyme pepsin) and the intrinsic factor. The acid has a function of the protection of the entire system by eliminating microorganisms. It is also responsible for the activation of pepsin (which only occurs with acid pH), the enzyme that digests proteins containing the amino acids leucine or phenylalanine or tryptophan or tyrosine.

The concept of Positive feedback loop states that the body tries to increase the value of a variable (acidity, in the case of pepsinogen) when it is below its optimal value (called a point adjustment) and decreases this value when it is above optimal.
