Yes the enzyme is inactive, but we had to describe why it was inactive. There wasnt really any other viable definition coming to mind considering he said the enzymes never worked even when returned to their normal working temperatures. We were only taught one definition in the syllabus, that of normal denaturation. I dont think low temp inactivity applies here because we can recover from that

Toh according to you enzyme walay question mein, first part and last part had same answers? Almost same answers, right?

In both parts we had to discuss natural denaturation? ( even in freeze denaturation)

wot was the one in which the glycosidic bond was sort of slanting way..i think it was fourth diagram
nd wots the answer to epidimological thng?

The 1st sugar was maltose, the 2nd trehalose, the 3rd cellobiose the 4th sucrose.
In the epidemiological question, you had to say something to the effect of that when the number of smokers increases, the number of TB cases reported also increases.

how was 3rd cellobiose? isnt that suposd to b where sugars are 180 degrees rotated?

What about enzyme question? In first and last part we had to discuss simple denaturation, that is shape of active site changes, blah blah?

The first asked for the mode of action of the enzyme; you had to say that the substrate is complementary to the active site, that an E-S complex forms, and that the enzyme remains unaltered at the end, etc.
In the second, you had to talk about the denaturation of the active site.

Nai there were three parts, mode of action was part b... I'm talking about part a and part c?

Smoking caused TB because:

1) the tar paralyzed cilia and incites mucus production enabling the TB pathogen to live in the mucus and grow. Carbon Monoxide would also combine with Heamoglobin giving carboxyheamoglobin, impairing the bodies ability to transport oxygen and inducing lethargy.

Heart muscle is thicker on left side due to having to put in more pressure as it pumps over longer distances {I think everyone ratta'd this one :p}

i was confused with the whole smoking and TB thing,but i wrote this answer :) so im having a little hope that i'll score something from that question :D

I was actually quite confused when I read the disaccharide question; I figured that the first two were combinations of alpha glucose and wasn't sure which one to put down. but when I realised that maltose (made from amylose-which was what the bullet point in the question stated or something like that) must have a 1-4 glycosidic linkage due to the fact its made from amylose, I put B down as maltose and A down as trehalose.

and also because A looked like this:

someone correct me if I'm wrong?
