Pepsin, a common enzyme found in the stomach, is most active at pH values between 0.5 and 2.5. It works slowly between pH values

of 2.6 and 3.4. Beyond a pH of about 3.5, it becomes completely inactive. Why does this happen?

Ph value between 0.5 and 2.5 is the optimum temperature of the pepsin which means its the most active. When temperature increase above the optimum temperature it will cause a rapid decrease in the rate of reaction. High temperature breaks the bond that keeps the enzyme (pepsin) in shape. The enzyme will denature and become inactive.

B) The proteins chain in the enzyme is denatured, permanently inactivating it as the pH approaches

Blood is often collected in what capillary tubes rather than plain capillary tubes to prevent clotting of the blood
motikmotik
The blood is collected in heparinized capillary tubes to prevent clotting. Heparin is a blood thinner and this anticoagulant is produced naturally by mast cells and basophils. But heparin can not dissolve or break the preformed clots.

Question 5 unsaved adding a unit to move a susceptible group enough to prevent metabolism is known as
mrs_skeptik [129]
<span>adding a unit to move a susceptible group enough to prevent metabolism is known as shifting.
These phenomena happen especially for liposoluble organism circulating in blood like drugs an hormones.
these molecules circulating blood can be divided into two forms : 
The free-form: which is the active part, it circulates freely in the blood, but are easily metabolised.
The bound form: it can be bound to other molecules from the organisms depending on its affinity like proteins (albumin, glycoproteins). this form is not active but is prevented from metabolism.

Competition for bounding proteins can happen between two drugs for example. If they have a different degree of affinity for proteins, then the most affine will displace the less affine from the protein and bound it, and that is call shifting</span>
