Question
Chapter 13, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
To predict:
The enzyme whose temperature versus activity profile is shown in fig. 13.12 likely to be from an animal or plant and its reason.
Introduction:
The enzyme seems more mammalian than plant.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
To propose:
To propose that the temperature versus activity profile for an enzyme from a thermophilic bacterium growing in a 80oC of pool of water would resemble.
Introduction:
Around 80oC the enzyme from a thermophile bacterium will have maximum efficiency.
