An enzyme is active only when four wild-type protomers make a tetramer. A mutant form of the enzyme can form tetramers, but shows no enzyme activity. If the enzyme is purified from an organism which is heterozygous for the gene coding for the mutant protomer, what fraction of the protein would be active? a. 100% b. 50% C. 25 % d. 20% [IIT-JAM]
Option a: 100% is the right answer choice.
If the organism is heterozygous for the gene coding for mutant protomer then protein will function normally. Heterozygosity doesn't make...
