Question

The target of antifungal polyenes and imidazoles is- Cell wall synthesis. RNA or DNA synthesis Folic acid synthesis Protein synthesis. Membrane synthesis or function Which is true of competitive inhibition? It involves an allostenc enzyme Substrate and inhibitor can both bind to the active site. Sulfonamides are competitive inhibitors of PAHA (para aminobenzoic acid). Alter the Km. B.C. and D Which of the following is not true of the major classes of enzymes? Isomerases catalyze atomic rearrangements w ithin molecules. Transferases catalyze transfer of functional groups (e.g. amino, methyl, phosphate). Hydrolases catalyze polymerization of macromolecules (e.g. amino acids rightarrow proteins) by removal of water. Oxidoreductases catalyze oxidation reduction reactions. all of the above arc true.

Explanation / Answer

54. E. Membrane synthesis or function.

The anti-fungal polyenes (amphotericin B) and imidazoles act by disrupting the membrane synthesis or membrane functioning by binding to particular sterols.
