Answer:

A. Decrease

B. Increase

Explanation:

A. A lysine side chain is brought into proximity:

lysine is basic in its nature, it would have to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and also weak interactions existing among the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bond. This would then reduce or decrease the pH and thus pKa of the protein.

B. The effect of this on pKA is an increase on the pKA. The carboxyl group is acidic. When it is removed, it would then cause the pKA to be increased. There would be accumulation of more negative change by basic amino acids increasing the pKA.

What kind of inhibitors are transition state analogs usually classified as? uncompetitive inhibitors competitive inhibitors nonc
Masteriza [31]
<h2>Competitive inhibitors.</h2>

Explanation:

▪ Transition state analogs can be used as inhibitors in enzyme-catalyzed reactions which are done by blocking the active site of the enzyme.

▪ A transition state analog is somewhat the same as that of the transition state.

▪These are better inhibitors than the substrate analogs in competitive inhibition, the reason is that they bind tighter to the enzyme rather than the substrate.

▪ Thus, they are classified as competitive inhibitors.

Which has more boiling points between macromolecule and ionic bonding
puteri [66]

Answer:

Ionic bonding has more boiling point

Explanation:

The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the intermolecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound. Ionic solids typically melt at high temperatures and boil at even higher temperatures. For example, sodium chloride melts at 801 °C and boils at 1413 °C. (As a comparison, the molecular compound water melts at 0 °C and boils at 100 °C.). The water solubility of molecular compounds is variable and depends primarily on the type of intermolecular forces involved.
