For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains. Basic amino acids have amine functional groups in their side chains. If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive.
Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis.
In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.
Process of Electron Transport Chain (ETC), is a series of transferring from electron donors to their acceptors. It basically means a transfer from high energy molecule to a low-energy molecule. This process of extracting energy by transfer is classified as a chemical reaction and we see it is the path taken of cellular respiration (NADH) and FADH2) and in photosynthesis, NADPH. It starts with an electron, NADH and FADH2, when the electron donors release a proton gradient and it creates an imbalance. Think of it as a see-saw with one heavy person on one end and a lighter one on the other end. The protons actually attempt to defuse back across this see-saw of a membrane and it releases energy during the cross over which we call Chemiosmosis.
<span>The answer is Information Science
Information science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the collection, classification, analysis, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. All these activities entail information processing. Meaning, the field of information science is all about information processing, without information processing no information science.</span>
A change in the color of a substance -- this one is indeed a chemical change. Think of iron, if iron turns reddish, it's a completely different substance.
