The nitrogenase enzyme complex fixes N2 produces ammonia, The nitrogenase enzyme complex catalyzes this reaction by following characteristics given below;

a) It can be separated into two components—the Fe protein and the MoFe protein— neither of which has catalytic activity by itself

b) Fe protein is the smaller of the two components and has two identical subunits, each contains an iron–sulfur cluster, which participates in the redox reactions

c) The Fe protein is irreversibly inactivated by O2 while MoFe protein is activated by O2

d) MoFe protein has four subunits, each subunit has two Mo–Fe–S clusters

e) Ferredoxin serves as an electron donor to the Fe protein, and Fe protein reduces the MoFe protein without any hydrolysing ATP

f) Only prokaryotes have nitrogenase enzyme

Which of the following characteristics of nitrogenase enzyme complex is incorrect?

A bacterial histidine mutant was plated on minimal medium and a single colony grew. You decide to sequence the histidine biosynthetic gene of the revertant and discover that the original mutation is still present.  This colony must have been able grow due to a

A researcher studying bacterial toxin predicts that a lysine within the toxin is important for binding it’s target cell.  She used site-directed mutagenesis to change a codon for lysine (AAA) to one for asparagine (AAU).  However, the mutant toxin still binds to its target cell just as well as the wild-type toxin bound and appears to have no other changes. This type of mutation is probably
