A_______ enzyme is used to remove clots from the blood vessels of patients who have undergone B_______ leading to heart attack .
A-Streptokinase; B-Myocardial infarction
A-Lipases; B-Arteriosclerosis
A-Proteases; B-Myocardial infarction
A-Pectinases; B-Atherosclerosis
As we have already studied in Chemicals, Enzymes and other Bioactive Molecules -
Streptokinase -
Streptokinase produced by the bacterium Streptococcus
- wherein
modified by genetic engineering is used as a ‘clot buster’ for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infection leading to heart attack.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
