Abzymes are
- A.
Antibodies against enzymes
- B.
Antibodies that can function as enzymes
- C.
Either of the above
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Antibodies that can function as enzymesExplanation
Abzymes are antibodies that can function as enzymes. Unlike typical antibodies, which bind to specific antigens to neutralize them, abzymes have the additional ability to catalyze chemical reactions. This dual functionality makes abzymes unique and valuable in various medical and industrial applications. They can be engineered to have specific enzymatic activities, allowing them to perform tasks such as breaking down toxins or pathogens. Therefore, the correct answer is "Antibodies that can function as enzymes."Rate this question:

EC number 1.1.1.1 denotes
- A.
Alcohol dehydrogenase
- B.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase
- C.
Lactate dehydrogenase
- D.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
Correct Answer
A. Alcohol dehydrogenaseExplanation
EC number 1.1.1.1 denotes Alcohol dehydrogenase. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones by utilizing NAD+ as a cofactor. It plays a crucial role in the metabolism of alcohol in the body, breaking down ethanol into acetaldehyde. Alcohol dehydrogenase is found in various tissues, including the liver, where it is primarily involved in the detoxification of alcohol.Rate this question:

False about enzymes
- A.
Enzymes increases the rate of the reaction
- B.
Enzymes alter the equilibrium towards forward reaction
- C.
Enzymes reduces the activation energy
- D.
Some enzymes are highly specific for a single substrate
Correct Answer
B. Enzymes alter the equilibrium towards forward reactionExplanation
Enzymes do not alter the equilibrium towards the forward reaction. Enzymes are catalysts that speed up the rate of a reaction by reducing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They do not change the position of the equilibrium or favor the forward reaction. Instead, they facilitate the conversion of reactants to products at a faster rate.Rate this question:

High Km Value indicates
- A.
Low affinity towards substrates
- B.
High affinity towards substrates
- C.
Either of the above
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Low affinity towards substratesExplanation
A high Km value indicates low affinity towards substrates because Km is a measure of the substrate concentration at which the enzyme achieves half of its maximum velocity. A high Km value indicates that the enzyme requires a high substrate concentration to achieve half of its maximum activity, suggesting that the enzyme has a lower affinity for the substrate. In other words, it takes a higher concentration of substrate to saturate the enzyme and reach its maximum velocity.Rate this question:

Which is the fastest enzyme?
- A.
Trypsin
- B.
Pepsin
- C.
Carbonic anhydrase
- D.
Glucokinase
Correct Answer
C. Carbonic anhydraseExplanation
Carbonic anhydrase is the fastest enzyme because it catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions at an extremely high rate. This enzyme is found in various tissues and plays a crucial role in maintaining acid-base balance in the body. Its speed is attributed to its active site, which contains a zinc ion that acts as a catalyst, allowing the reaction to occur rapidly. The efficiency and speed of carbonic anhydrase make it the fastest enzyme among the options given.Rate this question:

Committed step of a reaction is
- A.
Irreversible
- B.
Rate limiting
- C.
Unique to the pathway
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The committed step of a reaction refers to the point in a chemical reaction where a reactant is irreversibly converted into a product. It is also known as the rate-limiting step because it determines the overall rate of the reaction. Additionally, the committed step is unique to the pathway of the reaction, meaning that it is specific to that particular sequence of reactions. Therefore, all of the given options - irreversible, rate-limiting, and unique to the pathway - accurately describe the committed step of a reaction.Rate this question:

Enzyme(s) catalysing a ping pong reaction
- A.
SGPT
- B.
Chymotrypsin
- C.
Trypsin
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the above enzymes - SGPT, Chymotrypsin, and Trypsin - catalyze a ping pong reaction. In a ping pong reaction, the enzyme undergoes a series of sequential reactions with the substrate. The first substrate molecule binds to the enzyme, and a product is released, leaving behind a modified enzyme. This modified enzyme then binds to a second substrate molecule and releases a second product, ultimately regenerating the original enzyme. All three enzymes listed in the answer options exhibit this ping pong mechanism, making them all correct choices.Rate this question:

True about abzymes
- A.
Antibodies against enzymes
- B.
Antibodies against transition state of substrate
- C.
Antibodies tagged with enzyme
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Antibodies against transition state of substrateExplanation
Abzymes are antibodies that are capable of catalyzing chemical reactions. They are unique because they can bind to and stabilize the transition state of a substrate, which is the intermediate state during a chemical reaction. This allows the abzyme to increase the rate of the reaction. Antibodies against enzymes refer to antibodies that target and bind to specific enzymes, while antibodies tagged with enzyme refer to antibodies that are conjugated with enzymes for various applications. Therefore, the correct answer is antibodies against the transition state of substrate, as abzymes specifically target and bind to the transition state to catalyze reactions.Rate this question:

Activation energy is the free energy difference between
- A.
Substrate and product
- B.
Substrate and intermediate
- C.
Substrate and transition state
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Substrate and transition stateExplanation
The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome for a chemical reaction to occur. It represents the difference in energy between the reactants (substrate) and the highest energy point in the reaction pathway (transition state). The transition state is a high-energy, unstable state that exists momentarily during the reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is "substrate and transition state" as it accurately describes the activation energy.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Transition State
- A.
Has more free energy
- B.
Is a fleeting momentary chemical species
- C.
Analogues are potent competitive inhibitors than substrate analogues
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The given correct answer is "All of the above". This means that all the statements mentioned in the question are true for the concept of Transition State. Transition State has more free energy, it is a fleeting momentary chemical species, and its analogues are potent competitive inhibitors than substrate analogues.Rate this question:
