To produce a significant change in the reaction rate O the pH must be decreased O the temperature must be increased O the concentration of the enzyme must be increased O the pH must be increasedarrow_forward
- 4. The amino acid Asp189 lies at the base of the substrate specificity pocket in the enzyme trypsin. a. How is this related to typsin’s substrate specificity? Briefly describe the interactions between the substrate and the Asp 189. b. If the Asp189 was replaced with a lysine residue, how would this affect substrate specificity? c. The scientists that actually mutated the Asp189 to a lysine analyzed the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme and found that the lysine is actually not located in the specificity pocket. Instead, the Lys side chain reaches out of the base of the pocket, rendering the pocket nonpolar. With this additional information, determine how the substrate specificity would differ in the lysine-mutated enzyme.arrow_forwardA gene is a section of DNA that contains the instructions for making a. more DNA b. carbohydrates c. proteins d. lipidsarrow_forwardLooking at the protein structure below, what would be an accurate way to describe the circled portion?
