Chapter 21.10, Problem 21.14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The optimum pH from the graph needs to be estimated for the hydrolysis of proteins in small intestine by trypsin enzyme.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes are proteins that help in fastening the rate of reaction. They increase rate of reaction without changing itself in the process. The rate of reaction increases to ${10}^6\text{to}{\text{10}}^{12}$ times than in a reaction without enzyme. Enzymes are categorized into different class and subclass.
