Question

PROBLEM 13-2 Elements of the Results Section Assess the following partial Results section. 1. Identify the purpose or background of the experiment - the experimental approach - the results - the interpretation of the results 2. Are all the parts of a paragraph for the Results section provided? Please explain. We found that the H384A mutant reduced the keat value more than 3-fold. The apparent Km values were increased 7- fold for Fru 6-P and 3.5-fold for PPi. The increase of the Km values and the reduction of the kcat value of the H384A mutant suggest that the imidazole group of His384 is important for the binding stability as well as for catalytic efficiency of Fru 6-P and PPi substrates.

Answer 1

The given partial Results section provides the experimental approach, results, and interpretation of the results. The H384A mutant reduces the keat value and increases the apparent Km values for Fru 6-P and PPi. The interpretation suggests the importance of the imidazole group of His384 for binding stability and catalytic efficiency.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given partial Results section, the purpose or background of the experiment is not explicitly stated. However, the experimental approach, results, and interpretation of the results are provided. The results indicate that the H384A mutant reduces the keat value more than 3-fold and increases the apparent Km values for Fru 6-P and PPi. The interpretation suggests that the imidazole group of His384 is important for the binding stability and catalytic efficiency of the Fru 6-P and PPi substrates.
