Question
If you could design a midified version of the enzyme to ensure that it will function optimally in the harsh conditions of the washing vat (such as high temperature or high pH), which of the following could you do to achieve this goal?
A.) Change the amino acid sequence drastically to give the enzyme quartnerary structure
B.) Change the amino acid sequence slightly to enure a more stable tertiary structure.
C.) Remove some amino acids from the start of the protein to stregthen its secondary structure.
D.)Add more amino acids to the end of the protein to make it more hydrophobic.
Explanation / Answer
Answer:D.)Add more amino acids to the end of the protein to make it more hydrophobic.
Hydrophobic core and hydogen bonding is the key factors.
