Question
Chapter 2, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the second mutation occurred as a result of the restoration of the activity needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The proteins are made up of amino acids joined together. Thus, amino acids are like building blocks for them. The proteins play an important role in all the biological processes. A huge proportion of our cells, tissues and muscles are made up of the amino acids. Therefore, they carry out several significant functions in the body.

disease. As such, a frontline treatment for Type 2 diabetes is the drug metformin, which acts indirectly
to inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver. You are a research biochemist who would like to develop new
drugs that act to directly inhibit gluconeogenesis. You have just gained access to a library of thousands
of small molecules of unknown activity, and you would like to identify lead compounds that have specific
inhibitory activity against steps in the gluconeogenesis pathway.
