Which of the following properties of amino acid is affected by a change in pH?
Correct answer: D. Ionization of amino acids
- A. Oxidation of amino acid
- B. Atomization of amino acids
- C. Reduction of amino acid
- D. Ionization of amino acids
Explanation
Change in pH causes the imbalance of H'/OH ions, which causes the ionization of amino acids at the active sites and substrate as well.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
