PL 3 Flashcards
1
Q
What does a rate versus substrate concentration graph look like?
A
A curve levelling off
-rate increases as substrate concentration increases
- until rate plateaus as all the enzyme active sites are already being used
2
Q
Why does pH affect the performance of enzymes?
A
Could affect ionisable groups
3
Q
Formula for enzyme substrate process
A
E+S = ES -> EP –> E+P
