Question

Small molecular weight compounds affect the activity of luciferase differently. The oil/water solubility of various compounds is one property important for its effect on luciferase. The straight line in the graph was obtained by plotting the activity data with 50 different compounds. The luciferase activity of two new derivatives of Benzene (A and B) are shown below: Which of the following statements is correct?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

A is phosphate and B is amine A is methyl and B is amine Correct A is methyl and B is propyl A is amine and B is phosphate

Explanation

Analysis of small molecular weight compounds affect the activity shows A is methyl and B is amine represents established outcome. functional assays supports option B, whereas distractors confuse substrate or regulatory direction and fail to reproduce observed results.
