Answer:

Explanation:

Imperfect science can be described as the scientific study of a research/field that is not complete or is characterized with a number of faults. While there are many scientific research fields or focus that fall under this category (because scientists are constantly seeking to improve existing knowledge of various scientific field), let's limit our scope to DNA evidence analysis.

DNA evidence testing for instance is very expensive which makes it difficult (in most cases) for victims to request for it in cases of crime (except requested by the government). For instance, if a killing that involves a struggle was done in a small neighborhood of about a 100 people with no visual confirmation of the killer but just some blood samples of the killer, DNA evidence testing might still not be used in a case like this despite the crime happening in a relatively small community.

Also, since DNA evidence testing relies on the gene and there is a lot of research going on at the moment on genes (including gene mapping and locus system) which can assist to lower the number of suspects by predicting the origins of suspects. It should be noted that reducing the number of suspects reduces the amount that will be spent on DNA analysis of the suspects (since there are fewer suspects).

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequ

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) The response indicates that a pH below or above this range will most likely cause enolase to denature/change its shape and be less efficient or unable to catalyze the reaction.

b)The response indicates that the appropriate negative control is to measure the reaction rate (at the varying substrate concentrations) without any enzyme present.

c)The response indicated that the enolase has a more stable/functional/correct/normal protein structure at the higher temperature of 55°C than at 37°C because the enzyme is from an organism that is adapted to growth at 55°C.

Explanation:

Enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate during both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.In bacteria, enolases are highly conserved enzymes and commonly exist as homodimers.

The temperature optimum for enolase catalysis was 80°C, close to the measured thermal stability of the protein which was determined to be 75°C, while the pH optimum for enzyme activity was 6.5. The specific activities of purified enolase determined at 25 and 80°C were 147 and 300 U mg−1 of protein, respectively. Km values for the 2-phosphoglycerate/phosphoenolpyruvate reaction determined at 25 and 80°C were 0.16 and 0.03 mM, respectively. The Km values for Mg2+ binding at these temperatures were 2.5 and 1.9 mM, respectively.

Enolase-1 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus (EnoCa), a thermophilic green non-sulfur bacterium that grows photosynthetically under anaerobic conditions. The biochemical and structural properties of enolase from C. aurantiacus are consistent with this being thermally adapted.
