Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an enzyme is pH and temperature sensitive.
Everyday in the U.S. millions of cars and trucks idle needlessly, sometimes for hours. You may not be able to avoid keeping your engine running when youâre stopped at a traffic signal or stuck in slow-moving traffic. But other times idling is unnecessary. An idling car can release as much pollution as a moving car.
In this example, the driver completed 34 consecutive hours off duty, but this restart is still incomplete. The driver only spent one period of time off duty between the hours of 1:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m. That means the 34 hour restart is incomplete and the drivers 70 hour limit has not reset.
