Practice question
Question
The gene encoding an enzyme A that functions in a metabolic pathway for conversion of metabolite „x‟ to „y‟ was knocked out but it still resulted in the formation of metabolite „y‟. From this it can be concluded that:
Explanation
Mechanistically, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure involves substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. This validates Enzyme A is sufficient but not necessary for formation of „y‟ because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in biochemistry research.
