Assume you have discovered a cell that produces a lipase that works in cold water for a laundry additive.You can increase the efficiency of this enzyme by changing one amino acid.This is done by
A)irradiating the cells.
B)site-directed mutagenesis.
C)enrichment.
D)selective breeding.
E)selection.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Site-directed mutagenesis allows for the precise modification of a specific gene or amino acid sequence, making it the most appropriate method for altering the lipase enzyme. Irradiation, enrichment, selective breeding, and selection would not result in a targeted modification of the desired amino acid.
