Match the metalloproteins in column-A with their function in column-B
Column-AColumn-B
I OxyhemocyaninA. hydrolysis of C-terminal peptide bond
II Carbonic anhydraseB. Methylation
III. Cytochrome $\mathrm{P_{450}}$C. Conversion of $\mathrm{CO_2}$ to $\mathrm{H_2CO_3}$
IV. Carboxy-peptidase AD. oxdiation of alkene
E. oxygen storage
F. oxygen transport
The correct answer is
(a)I-F: II-C; III - D; IV-A
(b)I-E: II-C; III-A; IV-F
(c)I-F; II-B; III - C; IV-A
(d)1-E; II-D; III-C; IV-A
Answer
Answer (as printed): A
Explanation
Oxyhemocyanin stables as oxygen carrier. Carbonic anhydrase converts $\mathrm{CO_2}$ to $\mathrm{H_2CO_3}$ Cytochrome $\mathrm{P_{450}}$ oxidizes alkene to epoxide. Carboxy peptidase A catalyzes the hydrolysis of C-terminal peptide bond.
