Question

Studies at different pH’s show that an enzyme has two catlyticwlly important residues whose pK’s are 4 and 10. Chemical modification experiments indicate that a Glu and a Lys reside are essential for activity. Match the residues to their pal’s and explain whether they are likely to act as acid or base catalysts
