19. The following is a plot of enzyme activity as a function of pH: Percent activity (%) 0 50 100 5 6 7 PH Assuming that there are only two titratable groups on the protein (and none on the substrate), give a likely explanation for the shape of this curve. Include in your answer the names of amino acids that are likely to be involved and their protonation states.
