pH increases or decreases can alter the shape of the enzyme rendering it non-functional
Changes in enzyme structure can result in accelerated or depressed metabolic actions within the cell

INFLUENCES ON KINFLUENCES ON K++ LEVELS LEVELS In kidney Na+ is absorbed
in tubules in exchange of K+ or H+ (K+ > H+).
In acidosis more H+ is secreted thus preserving the K+, causing hyperkalemia.

Buffers. Is a solution of weak acid & its salt with a
strong base that prevent change in pH when H+ ions are added or removed from the solution.
Most effective within 1 pH unit of the pK of the buffer.

REMEMBER……. Buffer cannot remove H+ ions from the body
temporarily reduce free H+ ions
H+ ions have to be ultimately removed by the renal mechanism.

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
HA H+ + A-
When acid is added, --- H+ ion conc increases, reaction forced towards right leads to increase in un dissociated molecules.
When base is added ---- reaction shift towards left, more H+ ion released from buffer to combine with base.

Most Effective Buffer. Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. HA H+ + A-
By the law of mass action, at equilibrium
K = [H+][A-]/ [HA] ----------- K= Dissociation constant of acid.

Henderson- Hasselbalch equation.
[H+] = K [HA]/[A-] pH = log 1/ [H+] Log 1/[H+] = log 1/K +log [A-]/[HA] pH = pK + log [A-]/[HA] Thus pH= pK Thus most effective buffers in the body are those with pK
close to the pH in which they operate.from this equation it is seen that buffering capacity of buffer system is greatest when amount of anion[A-] and undissociated acid [HA] is same.
