Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20.52E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism for irreversible inhibition of the reaction between propanoic acid chloride and side chain of a serine residue on an enzyme is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Enzymes are biocatalysts. Enzymes are specific in its action. The molecule that connects with an enzyme and decreases the activity of an enzyme is known as an enzyme inhibitor. Drug molecule is an example of an enzyme inhibitor.

How to measure distance and calculate rate
For the titration of a divalent metal ion (M2+) with EDTA, the stoichiometry of the reaction is typically:
1:1 (one mole of EDTA per mole of metal ion)
2:1 (two moles of EDTA per mole of metal ion)
1:2 (one mole of EDTA per two moles of metal ion)
None of the above
