Scientists are studying an enzyme called sithase and a mutant sithase S22V. They are comparing the enzyme kinetics parameters of wild type (WT) sithase and sithase S22V to characterize their activity.
a) Describe the role of sithase in the context of enzyme kinetics.
b) Explain the significance of comparing the enzyme kinetics parameters of wild type sithase and sithase S22V.
c) Discuss how characterizing the activity of these enzymes can contribute to scientific understanding in the field.
d) Analyze potential applications of the findings in enzyme kinetics research.
