Vedclass · Answer

(D) Carboxypeptidase is a metalloenzyme that requires a metal ion as a co-factor for its catalytic activity.Specifically,it contains a $Zn^{2+}$ ion at its active site,which is essential for the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.If the $Zn^{2+}$ ion is removed,the enzyme loses its structural integrity and catalytic function.Therefore,the correct co-factor is $Zn^{2+}$.
