- Although the Module says to add “5 µL of AP," this number (the volume of AP added) is meaningless by itself. What additional single piece of information do you need in order to determine how much AP is being added to the reaction? a) The specific activity of AP. b) The mass concentration of total protein. c) The molar concentration of AP. d) The molecular weight of AP.arrow_forwardExplain the Enzyme assays for soils?arrow_forwardName two ways that an enzyme’s function can be changed (think about chemical modifications)arrow_forward

On a chemical basis explain why drinking milk strengthens young children’s teeth. Sour milk contains lactic acid. Not removing sour milk from the teeth of young children can lead to tooth decay. Use chemical principles to explain why.arrow_forwardWhen the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the ADP molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate: ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2 M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4?arrow_forward
- An enzyme is needed to be stored in a buffer solution with a pH of 10.00. Unfortunately, only three buffer systems are available in their laboratory: Buffer System Weak Acid Component Ka Conjugate Base Salt PAH Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH 6.25 x 10-5 NaC6H5COO SAD Boric acid, H3BO3 5.81 x 10-7 NaH2BO3 DOH Hydrogen cyanide, HCN 6.20 X 10-10 NaCN In what buffer system (PAH, SAD, or DOH) will Phoebe store the enzyme? (show calculations and briefly explain) Write the equilibrium reaction involved in the buffer system.

Explain with respect to the bond formation between MgCl2 and N2. 2. A group of young researchers was working on a biochemical pathway. At that time, they produced an enzyme having altered active site. Do you think, the activity of the new enzyme would differ from the original one? Why? On a different reaction they found, an enzyme works best at a temperature near about 30 degree Celsius. At 60 degree Celsius, the enzyme becomes inactivated. Briefly explain, why that enzyme is not working at elevated temperature?arrow_forwardWhat is the active site of an enzyme? What is a substrate?arrow_forward
