Denaturation of a multi-subunit protein, like hemoglobin (which contains 4
polypeptides), removes all of the following structures except:
A) Primary Structure
B) Secondary Structure
C) Tertiary Structure
D) Quaternary Structure
E) All of the above
A) Primary Structure
The enzyme hexokinase binds to glucose at lower glucose concentrations than does
the enzyme glucokinase, but glucokinase only binds to glucose (and not to other
hexose sugars). This means that:
hexokinase has a stronger affinity but a lower specificity for glucose than does
glucokinase.
