- The activity of an enzyme requires a glutamic acid to display its -COOH functional group in the protonated state. Suppose the pK, of the -COOH group is 4.07. (a) Will the enzyme be more active at pH 3.5 or 4.5? Explain. (b) What fraction of the enzymes will be active at pH = 4.07? Explain. (c) At what pH will the enzyme show 78% of maximal activity?arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equilibrium and expression for the equilibrium constants for the ionization of (a) tartaric acid.

(i.e., does C3 in 3PG have a different oxidation number than C2 in 2PG?) If so, does it become higher or lower? Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1. There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of -1. Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1. Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of -1; carbon 2 has an ox. number of 0. There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of 0. O Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3…arrow_forward
- For a given acid HA, it was determined that at pH 6.0 the concentration of the conjugate base [A] was 0.075 M and the acid [HA] was 0.025 M. What percent of this acid is ionized at pH 6.0? What is the pKa of this acid? What pH would this acid be 50% lonized?arrow_forwardThe free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP under standard conditions at pH 7.0 is 30.5 kJ/mol.

- The following amino acid can exist in a basic solution. HN*-CH-C HO, CH2 CH H3C CH3 OTrue O False .சிட்கarrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as DNA synthesis. In Escherichia coli, a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. The pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kDa and consists of six identical subunits. A unit of activity for this enzyme, U, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 umol of pyrophosphate in 15 minutes. The purified enzyme has a Vnax of 2800 U per milligram of enzyme. When (S] >> KM, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second? Vnax = umol -s. mg- If cach enzyme subunit has one active site, how many micromoles of active sites, or (E]r, are there in 1 mg of enzyme?
