Question

Interpret this data. Why do you think bone marrow cells would be affected more than other cell types?

4. The data below helps us to understand both how AZT affects the enzyme that you named above and how it may affect other cells. Interpret this data in light of your answers to the previous questions. Why do you think bone marrow cells would be affected more than other cell types. Fraction of Enzyme bound to Inhibitor Human DNA dependent RNA polymerase AZT triphosphate Human DNA dependent RNA polymerase deoxythymidine triphosphate HIV enzyme named above AZT triphosphate 10 20 30 40 Concentration of Compound (nm) 50 60

Answer 1

Answer :)

In the graph, the X-axis is showing the concentration of the drug while the Y-axis is showing the fraction of enzyme bound to the drug that is an inhibitor of the HIV enzyme. Drug 1 is giving highest binding to the enzyme at the 2 and 3 nM concentrations. While other drugs have the maximum capacity to binding with enzymes is nearly 80%. Therefore, drug 1 is the most effective drug.
