3 points	Based on what you have learned about the functioning of enzymes and proteins, explain why the pH in the cell has to be buffered. 
	A large group of enzymes show a pH optimum for their activity. This value is normally close to the pH in the cell. When the pH in the cell changes this can lead to a protonation or deprotonation of an amino acid that is important for the enzymatic activity. As a result the activity will decrease. Upon large chan...

BCHE 5180/6180: Spring Final

1. Based on what you have learned about the functioning of enzymes and proteins explain why the pH in the cell has to be buffered.

2. In addition to the pH, also the redox potential needs to stay constant in the cells.

(a) What species are formed that can higher the redox potential of the cytosol?

(b) What species are involved in buffering the potential and remove these species?

(c) What role does the pentose phosphate pathway play in the removal of ...
