Group I Group II P. NAD$^+$ 1. Glutathione peroxidase Q. Selenium 2. Nitrogenase R. Pyridoxal phosphate 3. Lactate dehydrogenase S. Molybdenum 4. Glycogen phosphorylase
This question requires matching biochemical components and elements from Group I with their associated enzymes from Group II.
The correct pairings are established based on biochemical functions:
| Group I | Group II | Match |
|---|---|---|
| P. NAD$^+$ | 3. Lactate dehydrogenase | P-3 |
| Q. Selenium | 1. Glutathione peroxidase | Q-1 |
| R. Pyridoxal phosphate | 4. Glycogen phosphorylase | R-4 |
| S. Molybdenum | 2. Nitrogenase | S-2 |
Combining these established pairings yields the sequence P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2.
| Coenzyme | Reaction type |
| P. Thiamine pyrophosphate | 1. Acyl group transfer |
| Q. Tetrahydrofolate | 2. Transfer of one carbon group |
| R. Flavin adenine dinucleotide | 3. Transfer of methyl group |
| S. 5'-Deoxyadenosyl cobalamin | 4. Oxidation-reduction |
| 5. Aldehyde transfer |
Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion (a) and the Reason (r)
Assertion: A very low amount of inhibitor can act as an activator for allosteric enzymes.
Reason: Allosteric enzymes follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
| Enzyme | Function |
| P. Gyrase | 1. Removes a damaged base by cleaving the bond between sugar and base |
| Q. Deadenylase | 2. Provides a swivel allowing one DNA strand to rotate around the other |
| R. Glycosylase | 3. Catalyses bond formation between 3'-OH and 5'-phosphate end of nucleotides in duplex DNA |
| S. DNA ligase | 4. Is an exoribonuclease that removes the poly(A) tail |
