Studies at different pHs show that an enzyme has two catalytically important residues whose pKs are 4
Question:
Studies at different pH’s show that an enzyme has two catalytically important residues whose pKs are ∼4 and ∼10. Chemical modification experiments indicate that a Glu and a Lys residue are essential for activity. Match the residues to their pKs and explain whether they are likely to act as acid or base catalysts.
