Which of the following properties of amino acids is affected by a change in pH?
Correct answer: D. Net charge
- A. Tertiary structure
- B. Primary structure
- C. Secondary structure
- D. Net charge
Explanation
The primary structure is the simple level of protein structure. Primary structure is a basic amino acids sequences in a protein. In the primary structure, amino acids are attached together by a covalent bond. Primary structure is when the amino acids are joined together with peptide bonds to produce polypeptide chains Changes in pH are least likely to change the amino acid sequence or disrupt peptide bonds.

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.
