Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Explain how chymotrypsin’s catalytic mechanism would be affected if the histidine residue were mutated to another amino acid not capable of acting as a base.

💡 Hint: Consider the role of histidine in activating other residues.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate how varying the concentration of glucose affects tricarboxylic acid cycle's regulation via hexokinase in a human cell.

💡 Hint: Link back to the role of intermediate concentrations!
