Name the enzyme discovered by Center for Cell and Molecular Biology (CCMB) scientists which helps to cut bacterial cell walls.

  • 1Xanthine dehydrogenase
  • 2Ribonucleotide reductase
  • 3Firefly luciferase EC
  • 4Murein EndopeptidiaseK
Answer:- 4
Explanation:-

The Center for Cell and Molecular Biology (CCMB) scientists have discovered a new enzyme called "Murein EndopeptidiaseK" while studying the cell growth in bacteria. This new discovery has paved the way for a new drug treatment that prevents anti-bacterial resistance by existing antibiotics.It would act on the protein of cell wall in Escherichia coli (E. coli), a bacterium found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms.Pavan Kumar Chodisetti, research student and his mentor Dr. Manjula Reddy were the backbone of this discovery. The finding has been published in the latest issue of Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, USA.
