Factors which determine the pH at the surface include the pH in the bulk solution and the release of H+ ions in the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The latter causes a lowering of pH at the surface, causing the reaction rate to differ from that computed assuming an equilibrium distribution of ...
The latter causes a lowering of pH at the surface, causing the reaction rate to differ from that computed assuming an equilibrium distribution of electrical potential. Another kind of nonequilibrium contribution is caused by unequal charges or diffusivities of the substrate and products, which ...
occur in biological systems. Enzymes are generally proteins but also include catalytic DNA and catalytic RNA. As effective biological catalysts, enzymes work by lowering a reaction’s activation energy barrier, thereby increasing the rate of the reaction. They also improve the specificity of the ...

Difficulty of measuring true initial reaction rates in manual routine methods has been demonstrated. When methods with a non-linear correlation curve have to be used, the estimation of serum concentration of enzyme must be based on a correlation curve between enzyme concentration and enzyme activity....
12. List factors that influence the rate of enzyme reactions. ___ ___ ___ 13. Label the diagram of the catalytic enzyme cycle. 14. How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors differ in their enzyme interactions? ___
Enzymes are biological catalysts, i.e., they catalyze reactions in animal and plant tissue that, if performed in vitro , would proceed at a very slow rate or would require more drastic conditions to reach a velocity equivalent to those observed in cells. Enzyme-catalyzed reactions take place ...
