Correct Answer- Replacing a polar amino acid with a non polar amino acid Alkaline phosphatase is produced by bone and liver in the human body. The amount of alkaline phosphatase in blood can help identify if a patient potentially has certain types of bone and/or liver-related disease, including Paget disease, hepatitis, and certain types of cancer. The optimal pH range for alkaline phosphatase activity is a pH of 8.0 to 10.0. What happens to the activity of the alkaline phosphatase at a pH of 2? Correc [Show More]
