Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Current concepts of pH-dependent enzyme function are expanded to consider enzymes with up to four key proton families. In an earlier paper the authors extended classical theory to explain the existence, in the acid ionization reaction, of two functionally distinct, V and K, proton families, exemplified by the 1988 sucrase three-proton families model of Vasseur et al. They now propose that enzymes having two distinguishable proton families at each side of the pH-activity curves exist in nature although there is no previously published evidence of their existence. The resulting, more general, four-proton-families model is treated as a useful framework from which submodels can be derived by simplification, the simplest being the 1911 linear model of Michaelis and Davidsohn, which took into account two proton families out of the theoretical maximum of four proposed here. It is shown that whether a three-proton families or a four-proton-families model can explain sucrase better is not merely a question of theory but also involves the practical question of having enough data, at each side of the pH spectrum, to permit making an unequivocal choice between the two alternatives. The paper concludes with a discussion of substrate-induced p K shifts according to both models.
