Question

A colleague has used computer modeling to design an improved enzyme. To produce this enzyme, the next step is to:___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) determine the nucleotide sequence for the improved enzyme.

Explanation:

Computational enzyme design (CED) can be defined as a bioinformatic in silico approach used to model, construct, and enhance enzyme catalysis. CED uses complex optimization algorithms that enable to direct evolution by using computational systems. As a further step, after the modelization of optimal enzymatic activity, bioinformaticians require to determine the nucleotide sequences which will be subsequently used to synthesize the corresponding enzymes.
