Raising the pH to 8.0 will have what effect on the hemoglobin curve? >>> shift to the left
When a substrate serves as an effector, it is said to be: >>> homotropic
The notion that things move from a state of order to disorder is an example of: >>>
entropy
the main function of a buffer is to: >>> resist changes in the pH of a solution when acid
or base is added
aka maintain the pH
all of the following will affect enzyme kinetics EXCEPT: >>> amount of substrate
produced as the reaction proceeds
which amino acid would exhibit the most basic character? >>> lysine
When Keq > 1 and Delta G < 0 the reation: >>> - favors the product
- is spontaneous
- is exergonic
When Keq <1 and Delta G > ) the reaction: >>> - favors the reactant
- is not spontaneous
- is endergonic
non-competitive inhibition: >>> decrease the vmax
Km stays the same
