Question

Where do enzymes come from? What is the difference between a competitive and an allosteric or non competitive inhibitor? What do they inhibit? Would it be effective to create a pharmaceutical product that served as an allosteric or competitive inhibitor? Why? What is an "operon"? Be able to draw and label one. Know where a repressor might attach. Name four factors or processes that contribute to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of organisms. (HINT: mutation is not one.) What is an Ames Test and what is it used for?

Answer 1

tissues or Answer: Enzymes are biocatalyst that change rate of a the chemical reaction. These are synthesized by secretory respective Glands. Inhibitors are the chemical substances that inhibit binding of substrate to an enzyme. Competitive inhibitors bind to active site of the enzyme and inhibit the substrate binding, while non competitive inhibitor bind to site other than active site, known as allosteric site and changes the configuration of active site by which substrate do not bind to this site To create allosteric or competitive inhibitors can be effective in conditions where the enzyme substrate binding forms product that is unfavourable or not useful to the body These inhibitors do not allow product causing disease to form or accumulate. operon is a sequence of genes performing a specific function.
