Answer:

3. apoenzyme

Step-by-step explanation:

Apoenzymes -

It is the inactive form of the enzyme , and it binds with the substrate which have affinity like of the holoenzyme , but is does not have the capability to convert the substrate to product .

The binding process may lead to some conformational changes in the apoenzyme , which the method of fluorescence can detect .

hence , the protein portion of the enzyme is the 3. apoenzyme .
