Carbon has four available binding sites and depending on how one atom binds to other atoms, it can form different structures. If you look up the structure of diamond and graphite, you’ll see that they are all made out of carbon but they are arranged differently.

What condition is required for viruses to reproduce?
Oduvanchick [21]
Viruses need to be inside a living thing (of course the living thing has to have the right temperature which most living things do) . When they're inside a living thing they start injecting the host's cells with its DNA in order to make more copies of itself which allows the virus to spread. So basically viruses need to be inside something living.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

C. The enzyme with mutation 1 has decreased affinity for pyridoxal phosphate, whereas the enzyme with mutation 2 has lost the ability to bind to the substrates.

Explanation:

A coenzyme is an organic cofactor that binds with an enzyme in order to initiate or aid the function of the enzyme. A coenzyme binds to the active site of the enzyme (where the reaction occurs), thereby triggering its activation by modifying protein structure during the reaction. Some examples of coenzymes include Coenzyme A and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme (it is the active form of vitamin B6) that is required for the function of cystathionase. Moreover, cystathionase is an enzyme that enables cells the synthesis of cysteine from methionine (transsulfuration pathway). The binding of pyridoxal phosphate to the enzyme increases the binding affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, thereby influencing its activity. In this case, it is expected that mutation 1 reduces the binding affinity of the enzyme to the cofactor, and thereby the cofactor is required at a higher concentration to restore normal enzyme activity.
