$Pb$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Sulphydryl enzymes contain $-SH$ groups at their active sites,which are essential for their catalytic activity.Heavy metals like lead $(Pb^{2+})$ have a high affinity for these sulphydryl $(-SH)$ groups.When lead binds to these groups,it forms stable mercaptides,which block the active site and inhibit the enzyme's function.Therefore,$Pb$ is a known inhibitor of sulphydryl enzymes.
