The correct answer is None of the above.
Key Points
- Macromolecules of biological origin perform various functions in the body.
- For example, proteins that perform the role of biological catalysts in the body are called enzymes, those which are crucial to the communication system in the body are called receptors.
- Carrier proteins carry polar molecules across the cell membrane.
- Nucleic acids have coded genetic information for the cell.
- Lipids and carbohydrates are structural parts of the cell membrane.
- The drug-target interaction with the examples of enzymes and receptors.
- The catalytic action of enzymes: For understanding the interaction between a drug and an enzyme, it is important to know how do enzymes catalyse the reaction.
- In their catalytic activity, enzymes perform two major functions:
- The first function of an enzyme is to hold the substrate for a chemical reaction. Active sites of enzymes hold the substrate molecule in a suitable position so that it can be attacked by the reagent effectively. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
- Substrates bind to the active site of the enzyme through a variety of interactions such as ionic bonding, hydrogen bonding, vander Waals interaction or dipole-dipole interaction
- The second function of an enzyme is to provide functional groups that will attack the substrate and carry out a chemical reaction. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
- Each time a cell divides, that DNA needs to be copied. Enzymes help in this process by unwinding the DNA coils and copying the information. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
- The first function of an enzyme is to hold the substrate for a chemical reaction. Active sites of enzymes hold the substrate molecule in a suitable position so that it can be attacked by the reagent effectively. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
