How is the activity of amylase affected by a low pH? By a high pH? Explain.
Human blood serum contains a class of enzymes known as acid phosphatases, which hydrolyze biological phosphate esters under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0): Acid phosphatases are produced by erythrocytes and by the liver, kidney, spleen, and prostate gland. The enzyme of the prostate gland is clinically important, because itsincreased activity in the blood can be an indication of prostate cancer. The phosphatase from the prostate gland is strongly inhibited by tartrate ion, but acid phosphatases from other tissues are not. How can this information be used to develop a specific procedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostate gland in human blood serum?
