Physiological conditions, such as correct pH and heat in which the enzyme is able to function correctly, are required.

Which curve represents the behavior of an enzyme taken from a bacterium that lives in hot springs at temperatures of 70 or higher?

The enzyme would likely exhibit a high optimal temperature and increased thermal stability. Therefore, its enzyme activity curve would likely show a higher peak and be shifted towards higher temperatures compared to enzymes from organisms living in milder conditions.


What types of variations would be most detectable by gel electrophoresis if the differences were between two recognition sites for a restriction enzyme?

The most detectable variations would be insertions or deletions that alter the size of the DNA fragment between the two recognition sites for the restriction enzyme. These modifications would result in different migration distances during gel electrophoresis, allowing for easy differentiation of the samples based on their fragment sizes.


How do most cells regulate the activity of enzymes?

Enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction. So, it would speed the cells for life and live.


What would interfere most with the ability of an enzyme to catalyze a reaction?

If the conditions in the environment are less than optimal (most often this means temperature, but it can also refer to pressure, salinity [saltiness] or a significant change in pH), the enyzme will lose its shape (called denaturation) and be unable to catalyze the reaction.


If an enzyme is added to a solution where its substrates and products are in equillibrium what would occur?

If the enzyme is reversable (can catalyse the reaction in both directions such as Carbonic Anhydrase - H20 + CO2 <-> HCO3 + HO) And assuming that the conditions are such that no one direction is favoured over the other, Then the enzyme will randomly catalyze the products into substrates and vice versa with the net result being equilibrium is maintained. If on the other hand the enzyme will only work in one direction (S -> P) then, depending on the kinetics of the reaction, Substrate would be converted into product disrupting the equilibrium.

At what pH would the enzyme be most effective?

It depends on what type of Enzyme. Enzymes have different optimum pH depending on the environment they work in, for example and enzyme in the stomach of a human would have a pH of about 2 but an enzyme in human saliva has an optimum pH of 5.6.


How long would it take 1 picomole of enzyme to convert 1 micromole of the substrate to product if the turnover number was 1 per millisecond?

Depends on enzyme purity, activity and incubation conditions.

Which curve was most likely generated from analysis of an enzyme from a human stomach where conditions are strongly acid?

The curve most likely follows a pH profile where the enzyme shows maximum activity at very low pH values (strongly acidic conditions). This would suggest that the enzyme is optimized to function efficiently in the acidic environment of the human stomach.


How you can test the sensitivity to the appropriate digestive enzyme of an harmless drug capsule?

Why would boiling an enzyme stop it from functioning?

Destroying the active site of an enzyme would no longer allow a substrate to bind to it, therefore stopping the enzyme from working.


How do you think the appropriate enzyme would have affected the reaction degree of completion yield stereochemistry?

The appropriate enzyme enhances the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy, which can lead to a higher degree of completion and yield. Enzymes can also provide a specific environment that favors the formation of particular stereoisomers, thereby affecting the stereochemistry of the product. This selectivity can result in an increased yield of the desired stereoisomer while minimizing unwanted byproducts. Overall, the presence of the right enzyme optimizes the reaction efficiency and specificity.

What modifications can be bought for a Spyder car?

You would need to look for a website of a local car modification shop to find out the available modifications for a Spyder car. If you have the technical skill to install the modifications yourself, you can find the specific parts/modifications separately online and have them shipped to you.
