KROK 1 2021 – Question 72 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Name the supramolecular multienzyme complex that is integrated into the lipid layer of inner mitochondrial membrane that creates conditions for redox reactions:
- A. Carboxypeptidase
- B. Respiratory chain
- C. G-protein transducer
- D. Pyruvate kinase
- E. Hexokinase
Hint
Consider where each candidate works: several are single enzymes of digestion, glycolysis or signalling; look for the multi-component assembly of oxidative energy metabolism that is built into the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
