MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Horseradish peroxidases are able to catalyze a variety of reduction reactions to convert peroxides into alcohols. Other peroxidases, however, are often only able to catalyze the reduction reaction with a specific substrate. This information suggests which of the following?

     

    A

    Horseradish peroxidases do not have negative feedback loops with their products while other peroxidases do.

    B

    Horseradish peroxidases are less susceptible to denaturing agents than other peroxidases.

    C

    Horseradish peroxidases have active sites that are more accessible to peroxides than other peroxidases.

    D

    Horseradish peroxidases use induced-fit binding to their substrates while other peroxidases use lock-and-key binding.
