                                                    1. In the enzymes, the zinc activates O2 to form peroxide species.
                                                    2. In the enzymes, the zinc activates H2O and provides a zinc bound hydroxide.
                                                    3. In the oxidases, the iron activates O2 to break the bonding between the two oxygens.
                                                    4. Zinc ion acts as a nucleophile and attacks at the peptide carbonyl.
                                                    The set of correct statements is

                                                    Fe2+-porphyrins fail to exhibit reversible oxygen transport and cannot differentiate CO from O2. However, the haemoglobin is free both these pitfalls. Among the following :
                                                    1. Fe2+-porphyrins undergo [A-oxodimer formation and the same is prevented in case of the haemoglobin.
                                                    2. Fe-CO bond strength is much low in case of haemoglobin when compared to the Fe2+-porphyrins.
                                                    3. While Fe-CO is linear, Fe-O2 is bent and is recognized by haemoglobin.
                                                    4. The interlinked four monomeric units in the haemoglobin are responsible to overcome the pitfalls.

An object keeps on flying to and fro from the front tip of one locomotive to the front tip of the other with a speed of 70 km/h. After 30 minutes, the two locomotives collide and the object is crushed. What distance did the object cover before being crushed?
