Chapter 18, Problem 18.96QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation to represent the action of proteolytic enzyme trypsin has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Certain enzymes called proteolytic enzymes are involved in the cleavage of the peptide bonds that are found in the primary structure of polypeptides.

These proteolytic enzymes are often refereed as serine proteases because of the presence of a nucleophilic serine at the active site of the enzyme. They are classified on the basis of the substrate specificity.

For example, the trypsin proteases cleave specifically at the carbonyl end of positively charged or basic amino acids such as arginine or lysine except for the cases of amino acids that are followed by proline.

Chymotrypsin cleaves at the carbonyl terminal of aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.

An open vessel containing water stands in a laboratory measuring 5.0 m x 5.0 m x 3.0 m at 25 °C ; the vapor pressure (vp) of water at this temperature is 3.2 kPa. When the system has come to equilibrium, what mass of water will be found in the air if there is no ventilation? Repeat the calculation for open vessels containing benzene (vp = 13.1 kPa) and mercury (vp = 0.23 Pa)
Every chemist knows to ‘add acid to water with constant stirring’ when diluting a concentrated acid in order to keep the solution from spewing boiling acid all over the place.  Explain how this one fact is enough to prove that strong acids and water do not form ideal solutions.
