Practice questions

1 of 34Practice questions for this set
A membrane-associated enzyme is assayed in solutions containing different detergent concentrations while keeping pH, temperature, and substrate constant. With 0% detergent, activity is 18 units; with 1% detergent, activity is 3 units. Detergents can insert into hydrophobic regions of proteins and disrupt hydrophobic interactions that help maintain tertiary structure and the shape of the active site. The enzyme amount added is the same in both trials. Which outcome is most likely at 1% detergent?
