EnzymesMediumQuestion 10437
Question
Every enzyme has an optimum pH because:
- AIonization state of active-site groups affects binding and catalysisCorrect
- BOnly acidic medium can support proteins
- CAll enzymes work best at pH 7
- DpH controls ATP synthesis only
Correct answer
Ionization state of active-site groups affects binding and catalysis
Explanation
Different enzymes function best in different pH ranges.
