Here is a scheme describing the keto-enol tautomerization reaction. Design the catalytic site of an enzyme that would accelerate the rate of this reaction. The rate enhancement should be as great as possible. Draw the amino acids that would be involved in the reaction and the electron flow during each reaction step. Remember that the enzyme has to be regenerated at the end of catalysis.

A 3000 bp region of the human genome encodes two genes. One of the genes encodes a protein of 700 amino acids and the other gene encodes a protein of 310 amino acids. The mRNA sequences of the two genes do not contain any of the same nucleotide sequences. How is this possible? Fully explain your answer.
