hapters 5 and 6: Bioenergetics/Enzymes apter 6, Question 10: Multiple-Choice , Part A The active site for many enzymes O usually depends on only one amino acid O contains amino acids that are contiguous to one another along the primary sequence of the protein may require a prosthetic group such as a metal ion. O involves amino acids that are brought into close proximity by extensive protein folding О involves amino acids that are brought into close proximity by extensive protein fol ng and may require a prosthetic group such as a metal .

Answer 1

e. involves amino acids that are brought into close proximity by extensive protein folding and may involve a prosthetic group such as a metal ion.

The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates bind and where a reaction is catalyzed. The active site of an enzyme consists of a unique combination of amino acid residues that need to assume their correct protein fold and tertiary structure. The prosthetic group is involved in the active site, it plays an important role in the functioning of enzymes.
