Muse, Muses, Of Song. Muse with barbiton, Paestan red-figure lekanis C4th B.C., MusÃ©e du Louvre. THE MOUSAI (Muses) were the goddesses of music, song and dance, and the source of inspiration to poets. They were also goddesses of knowledge, who remembered all things that had come to pass.
Taq' s optimum temperature for activity is 75â80Â°C, with a half-life of greater than 2 hours at 92.5Â°C, 40 minutes at 95Â°C and 9 minutes at 97.5Â°C, and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72Â°C.ne of Taq' s drawbacks is its lack of 3' to 5' exonuclease proofreading activity resulting in relatively low replication fidelity.
Why does optimum pH promote enzyme activity? A variation in temperature as little as 1 or 2 degrees Celsius can increase an enzyme-catalyzed reaction rate by 10 to 20 percent. Raising the temperature 10 degrees increases the activity rate of most enzymes by 50 to 100 percent. There is an exception is when temperatures reach a certain threshold above the optimal temperature level.
