List the stabilizing forces at tertiary level of protein structure. An enzyme containing the amino aspartic acid (pKa of the side chain = 3.65) and histidine (pKa of the side chain= 6) in the active (catalytic ) site has an optimal activity at a pH of 5.0. What is the major stabilizing force at the catalytic site? Using structures and 1-3 complete sentences, predict and explain what is expected to happen to the activity if the pH is increased to 8.

A steel sample weighing 1.000 g is dissolved in acids and treated with persulfate and periodate to oxidize Mn to MnO4- and Cr to Cr2O7-. The solution is finally diluted to 100.00 mL in a volumetric flask. An aliquot placed in a 1.00-cm cuvette yielded an absorbance of 0.113 at 440 nm and of 1.304 at 545 nm. The absorbance for a reagent blank was 0.005 at 440 nm and 0.008 at 545 nm. Calculate the percentages (m/m) of Cr and Mn in the steel. The molar absorptivity of Cr2O7- is 369 M-1cm-1 at 440 nm and 11 M-1cm-1 at 545 nm whereas that of MnO4- is 95 M-1cm-1 at 440 nm and 2350 M-1cm-1 at 545 nm. The molar mass of Mn is 54.94 g/mol and that of Cr is 52.00 g/mol.
