7. An enzyme with histidine residues that participate in both general acid and general base catalysis would be most likely to have a pH-activity profile resembling which curve? Explain your choice.
8. Although enzyme catalysis is reversible, a given reaction may appear irreversible in which of the following situations? Explain your answers (this is not a multiple choice question; analyze each situation to determine if the reaction may appear irreversible under these conditions):
a) The products are thermodynamically far more stable than the reactants.
b) Under initial velocity conditions.
c) If a product is rapidly removed from the system.
d) At high enzyme concentrations.
