Chapter 23, Problem 23.20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How the pH profile of enzymes can tell about the reaction mechanism if the amino acid at the active site is known is to be determined?

Concept introduction:

There are some factors that affect the activity of enzymes such as temperature, the presence of inhibitors, the concentration of substrate, and pH. Enzymes have an optimum temperature and pH range in which they are most active.
