Percentage of `Se` (atomic mass `= 78.4 u`) in peroxidase anhydrase enzyme is `0.5%` by mass. The minimum molecular mass of peroxidase anhydrase enzyme isA. `136xx10^(4)`B. `568xx10^(3)`C. `15.28`D. `568 xx 10^(4)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D Since minimum molecular mass of enzyme corresponds to minimum number of Se atoms, i.e., just one atom of Se, we have `%` of `Se = ((At.mass)_(se))/(("Min.mol.mass")_("Enzyme")) xx 100%` Thus, minimum molecular mass of enzyme `=((At.mass)_(se))/(%Se) xx 100%` `=(78.4u)/(0.5%) xx 100%` `= 15680 u = 1567 xx 10^(4)` |
