Enzyme Matching: Group I and Group II

This question requires matching biochemical components and elements from Group I with their associated enzymes from Group II.

Key Enzyme Matches

The correct pairings are established based on biochemical functions:

  • P. NAD$^+$: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ($NAD^+$) functions as a crucial coenzyme in redox reactions. It is a necessary cofactor for Lactate dehydrogenase (3).
  • Q. Selenium: This essential trace mineral is a key component of the amino acid selenocysteine. It is vital for the catalytic activity of antioxidant enzymes like Glutathione peroxidase (1).
  • R. Pyridoxal phosphate: This active form of Vitamin B6 acts as a coenzyme, particularly in amino acid metabolism and glycogen breakdown. It is required by Glycogen phosphorylase (4).
  • S. Molybdenum: This metal ion is integral to the active sites of several enzymes. It is notably found in Nitrogenase (2), which plays a critical role in nitrogen fixation.

Matching Summary Table

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

Solution Matches

Combining these established pairings yields the sequence P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2.
