Which statements are true?
The protein is active when one asp residue is protonated and the other is deprotonated.
O Both asp residues are protonated at more basic pH values.
O Active aspartyl proteases have only one asp residue in the active site.
Only one asp side chain is protonated at low pH (below pH 3.5).
Both asp side chains are deprotonated at higher pH values.
. Provide an explanation for the fact that a-D-mannose is more stable
than B-D-mannose, whereas the opposite is true for glucose.
