Question

In an experiment to study the effect of proteases on proteins, what is the MOST LIKELY effect of a major change in pH?

Answer 1

Answer:

a change in shape of the active sites of the enzyme is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the protein molecules that stimulate numerous chemical reactions by raising the reaction rate inside the living cells.

Protease is an enzyme that functions at a specific pH, Its function is to break the proteins into smaller amino acids.

The function of the enzyme is determined by its shape, as enzymes have active sites(active sites present in enzyme have unique shapes) where the substrate gets fit to carry out biochemical reactions.

A major change in the pH, vary the shape of the active sites of the enzyme and due to this, the enzyme becomes inactive.

Answer 2

There will be a shape change of the active sites of the enzyme
