The one gene-one enzyme hypothesis has been modified to the one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis because not all proteins are enzymes. Proteins can have various functions beyond enzymatic activity, such as structural roles. Additionally, some genes may encode for multiple protein products through alternative splicing, post-translational modifications, or other mechanisms.
