“The dessert named junket is made by adding the enzyme Rennin to lukewarm milk. Rennin. also known as Chymosin or in its commercial form as Rennet‚ is found in the fourth stomach of cud-chewing animals‚ and is to be found in particularly high quantities in the fourth stomach of suckling calves. The enzyme curdles the milk by transforming caseinogen into

concentration of substrate‚ on the activity of the enzymes. By conducting these three separate experiments also‚ three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly. II. Hypothesis Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature): As the temperature increases‚ the height of the bubble will increase too‚ indicating a faster rate of reaction. Experiment 2 (Effect of pH): Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. Extremely high or

franciscana are known to live in high salinity lakes that are often basic (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Furthermore‚ A. franciscana feed on photosynthetic phytoplankton which inhabit areas of light availability but are also more susceptible to predation in highly-lit areas (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Also‚ A. franciscana can withstand a broad range of temperature except extreme values may affect survival (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). In this experiment‚ the habitat

LAB 1: What temperature does the enzyme actually work properly in? (Hypothesis) If the temperature is below 40 but above 20‚ then the liver will show bubbles. If the temperature is raised higher than the optimum temperature‚ then an extreme decline in enzyme activity would occur following by the quick denaturing of the enzyme‚ rendering it is permanently useless. Also about 37°C is body temperature. The liver that was at 25°C had a huge amount of bubbles (a 4 on the scale) and the 0°C

The effect of Lead ions on amylase activity Aim What is the effect of Lead ions on the enzyme Amylase. And does it have an inhibitory effect‚ which causes the substrate‚ in this case starch to be blocked from the reaction process in the enzyme catalyst. Also is the effect reversible or irreversible‚ which is put on the amylase. Method Apparatus and substances required Test tube holder 2% starch solution 6 boiling tubes labelled 1 to 6 1% lead nitrate solution 6 test tubes labelled A to E‚

Abstract The main goal of the enzyme kinetics experiment was to see how the phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl produced p-nitrophenol in the presence of phosphate and fluoride ion inhibitors of various concentrations. The calculated Km constant was found to be 0.22 for all reactions. The Vmax values for each inhibition ion were 0.00986 for the phosphate ion and 0.00436 for the fluoride ion. The inhibitor constant‚ Ki‚ was determined to be 0.0967 for the phosphate ion. The inhibitor

Introduction Enzymes are catalytic proteins. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up metabolic reactions by lowering the free energy of activation or activation energy. Activation energy is known as the amount of energy needed to push the reactants over an energy barrier‚ so that the downhill part of the reaction can begin (Campbell 151). In an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ the enzyme binds to its substrate‚ which is the reactant an enzyme acts on. In the reactions‚ the enzymes are very specific

In this lab the peroxidase enzyme is tested in a dormant avocado seed as well as an avocado seed undergoing the process of germination. A gas pressure will be used to test the seeds and see if the peroxidase enzyme is present in either of the seeds. A catalyst is very similar to track spikes. Spikes increase a runner’s speed‚ as a catalyst speeds up the chemical reaction time in a plant. Neither the catalyst nor shoes are changed in these actions. Enzymes are macromolecules that act like catalysts

1. Prepare a lactase enzyme solution by dissolving one lactase enzyme tablet in 200 ml of water in a clean 250 ml beaker. Stir until the tablet has dissolved. Use labeling tape to label the beaker: “Lactase Enzyme Solution.” 2. Prepare a “denatured” enzyme solution by pouring 20 ml of your enzyme solution into a heat resistant tube. The test tube must have the words “Kimax” or “Pyrex” on it. If it does not‚ it is not heat resistant and may break! Use labeling tape to label the test tube: “Denatured
