Chapter 10, Problem 5P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of a mutation in an allosteric enzyme that resulted in a $\text{T/R}$ ratio of $0$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex.The enzyme which is able to do the conformational changes if an effector gets attached to it is known as allosteric enzyme.
