Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the given terms, correct term should be matched for the portion of an enzyme where catalytic activity takes place.
(1) Active site (2) Lock-and-key model (3) Induced-fit model
Concept Introduction:
An enzyme is also a protein which has the capability to bind with the substrate (reactant molecule) by recognizing it. Enzymes have a unique three-dimensional shape which helps them in binding to the substrate. The size of an enzyme is typically larger than that of the substrate, and it contains a region known as active site within its structure. This active site is responsible for binding the substrate and thus catalyzing the given reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given terms, the correct term should be matched for the active site that adapts to the shape of the substrate.

(c)
Interpretation:
Among the given terms, the correct term should be matched for an active site that has a rigid shape.

- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardYou have started a patient on a new drug. Each dose introduces 40 pg/mL of drug after redistribution and prior to elimination. This drug is administered at 24 h intervals and has a half life of 24 h. What will the concentration of drug be after each of the first six doses? Show your work a. What is the concentration after the fourth dose? in pg/mL b. What is the concentration after the fifth dose? in pg/mL c. What is the concentration after the sixth dose? in pg/mLarrow_forward
