The answer is C. They lower the activation energy of an elementary step of a reaction
This makes the reaction rate to increase since less energy is required to make a reaction occur.
Using PV=nRT or the ideal gas equation, we substitute n= 15.0 moles of gas, V= 3.00L, R equal to 0.0821 L atm/ mol K and T= 296.55 K and get P equal to 121.73 atm. The Van der waals equation is (P + n^2a/V^2)*(V-nb) = nRT. Substituting a=2.300L2⋅atm/mol2 and b=0.0430 L/mol, P is equal to 97.57 atm. The difference is <span>121.73 atm- 97.57 atm equal to 24.16 atm.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is: Serine, Histidine, Aspartate
Explanation:
The catalytic triad of an enzyme is composed of three aminoacid residues which are the most important for its catalytic activity. They are located in the catalytic site of the enzyme. In the case of chymotrypsin- a serine protease, the catalytic triad is composed by serine, histidine and aspartate (Ser-His-Asp). Serine proteases hydrolyse peptidic bonds in proteins and peptides. To do that, the histidine-which interacts with the aspartate by a hydrogen bond so its pKa increases- take a proton from the serine. Thus, deprotonated serine is able to attack the peptide bond and to perform hydrolysis.
A reaction rate is generally measured in terms of amount (usually in mass) per unit volume.
