a. Derive the rate expression v=dp/dt as a function of S, H, P, and E0. Set up the equations;
solve them only when time permits. The following is the eventual expression, provided
here in case you think you need it to answer questions in the next steps.
b. v=vm*s/(Km*Ki/H+s)
Solution:
See the following files that discuss the effect of pH on enzyme activity ("Mechanism #1,
Acid Enzyme").
Note that the rate expression is different from Eqn (3.45) of Shuler & Kargi.
c. Is the reaction rate higher in acidic or alkaline condition? Roughly sketch a plot of
reaction rate versus pH.
Solution:
