* **Temperature:** Enzymes have an optimal temperature at which they function best. At temperatures above or below this optimum, enzyme activity decreases. * **pH:** Enzymes also have an optimal pH at which they function best. At pH values above or below this Show more…

An enzyme is 100% inhibited by dinitrofluorobenzene after reaction with one amino acid side chain. It is also inhibited by iodoacetic acid 100%. But not inhibited by thiol reagents. What are the two amino acids present at the active site of the enzyme? Give the reactions by which these two reagents are inhibiting the enzyme. Using trypsin mechanism (ves. You need to look into the literature) as a specific example, illustrate all the effects enzymes are using to enhance the catalysis over nonenzymatic reactions. (If you have doubt, ask me or email me. Do not aim to get zero points for this question. One clue: it does not use metal ion catalysis) 3. Looking into the literature and find out what kind of regulation phosphofructokinase has and explain the regulatory aspects in detail. 4. Explain the mechanism of action of chorismite mutase (you need to look into the literature. You can copy and paste the structures, but the write-up should be your own).
