Question
Chapter 24, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Another carrier of one carbon unit.
Concept introduction:
Cofactors are the chemical compounds, basically, metallic ions, that are required by the enzymes to increase their metallic activities. There are two types of cofactors, organic cofactors, and inorganic cofactors. Organic cofactors include heme, and flavin groups, while inorganic cofactors are metallic ions.

Which of the three graphs below has the largest kcat? Explain.
Which of the three graphs below has the tightest subtrate binding? Explain.
Which of the three graphs has the largest specificity or efficiency constant? Explain.
Not all graphs have to be used as answers. Some graphs may qualify for more than one question. Explain.
Prepare a schematic diagram and present it as though it were a Figure in a publication (scientific journal or textbook) The diagram should illustrate the interactions made between the key components of (a) total and (b) non-specific binding reactions. In preparing your diagram，you should reflect on the role of each of the components of the reaction mixtures, and why the subtraction of non-specific from total binding allows us to calculate specific binding. The diagram Legend should be brief but informative.
An enzyme contains an active site aspartic acid with a pK, = 5.0,
which acts as a general acid catalyst. On the template below, draw the
curve of enzyme activity (reaction rate) vs. pH for the enzyme
(assume the protein is stably folded between pH 2–12 and that the
active site Asp is the only ionizable residue involved in catalysis).
Briefly explain the shape of your curve.
