Inhibition Mechanisms | MCQs

Explanation

Changes in pH can cause enzymes to denature, losing their native structure and activity.

This is because enzymes are highly specific to their optimal pH range.

Changes in pH can disrupt the delicate balance of charges and hydrogen bonds that maintain the enzyme's active structure.

Explanation

 Enzymatic activity can be inhibited by heavy metal ions, which can disrupt the enzyme's structure and function.
