Question
A physician has identified
a mutant version of PAH
that causes a mild form of
PKU. You measure the
activity of PAH as you
increase the concentration
of BH4. Data are shown for
the WT (red) and mutant
(blue) forms of PAH in the
graph below.

BH4.
This mutation
increases the
affinity of PAH for
BH4.
This mutation has
no effect on PAH.
This mutation
decreases the
reaction velocity
even when
saturated with BH4.
