Enzymes are biocatalysts which increase the rate of biochemical reactions without undergoing any change themselves. It binds to the substrate forming the enzyme substrate complex and forming the product. The acceleration factor of enzymes is the factor by which the enzyme increases the rate of the reaction.

Pepsin and trypsin are enzymes involved in the breakdown of proteins in the stomach and the small intestine respectively. Enzymes function best at a particular pH called the optimum pH. Pepsin is found in the stomach with an acidic environment and function best at a pH range of 2-3. Small intestine has a pH between 7-8 and Trypsin secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine functions best at a neutral or slightly alkaline pH of 7-8.  Thus, the catalytic activity of the enzymes is maximum at its optimum pH.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.

Explanation:

In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.
