What is the suitable form of ionic group of enzymes?(a) Acidic or basic(b) Acidic(c) Basic(d) neutralThis question was posed to me in exam.I'd like to ask this question from Methods of Immobilization in section Antibiotics & Enzyme Immobilization of Drug Biotechnology

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Acidic or basic

The explanation: Certain enzyme have ionic group on their active sites, and these ionic group must be in a suitable FORM (acid or base) to function. Variation in PH of medium result in changes of ionic form of the active site, activity of enzyme, hence the reaction rate, AFFECT the maximum reaction rate, Km STABILITY of the enzyme.
