In factors affecting enzyme activity (pH, temeprature). In testing pH factors, 2% of 4 mL of unbuffered starch solution was added to 4 mL of buffered starch solution, plus the 2mL enzyme solution.

- resting state of the protein, the Lys 216 Schiff base has pKa = 9.5 and Asp 85 has pKa = 3.5. When the conformational change occurs, the proton that was on the Schiff base moves to Asp 85. This should tell you that one or both of these two pKas changed with the conformational change. How does the pKa of Asp 85 compare with the pKa of the Lys 216 Schiff base after the conformational change?arrow_forwardWhat biochemical function do these Omega-3 fats play?
