1. What do you think would happen to reaction rate in the tube incubated in ice if this tube, with enzyme and substrate already mixed, were placed in the 37 degrees C water bath?
A) Then also explain your answer in terms of the effect of various temperatures on enzyme structure and the rate of enzyme activity.
2. Given your knowledge of enzyme activity and inhibitors, speculate about the mechanism by which ethanol prevents ethylene glycol poisoning,
3. Well-preserved mammoths have been found in ice and frozen soil in northern Siberia. Using information about enzyme activity learned in this lab, explain why these animal carcasses have survived all of these years.
