Hi abb0t,
do you have an idea what the enzyme does? where it could come in play in glycolysis?

anonymous · Answer

Also you will have to think of whether the mutation is homozygous or heterozygous.

abb0t · Answer

I don't think it matters the type of mutation...

anonymous · Answer

the type of mutation not if both are making the enzyme not functional. might matter if you have one WT and one mutated.

I think I got the answer now. Thnx though.
