Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It has to be determined that whether the given enzymes be functional at the given conditions:
(a) Pepsin at pH 2.0.
(b) An enzyme at if the enzyme is from atype of thermophilic bacteria that has an optimum temperature of 100 oC.
Concept Introduction:
The enzymescan be defined as the macromolecular catalyst, which helps in the enhancement of the
The enzymes are able to perform at their maximum extent on a specific physical parameter. They need an optimum temperature and potential of hydrogen (pH), in order to work properly.
