Trypsin, a protein digesting enzyme found in the small intestine of humans and animals, works most rapidly at a temperature of 37 degrees C, and a pH of 8. A student used trypsin to test the effects of various treatments on reaction rate.

Procedures tested:

A. Add more trypsin.

B. Add more protein substrate.

C. Decrease pH to 6.0

D. Decrease the amount of light energy available for the reaction.

E. Add ATP to the reaction mixture.
Which procedure would have no effect on the rate of protein digestion?
