    To investigate the affect that change in pH levels has on a particular enzyme‚ in this case amylase. Hypothesis: In this investigation I expect as the pH reaches the optimum level‚ the rate of reaction will be fastest‚ compared to other pH levels. It is also suspected that after the enzyme has reached optimum level the enzyme activity will decrease. Through further study of the optimum level of amylase I found that the enzyme usually has an optima pH of 8. It is known that the pH of an enzymes

    Effect of different temperatures on amylase activity. Literature review This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu‚ 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually

    temperature on amylase activity Design principle Background: Amylase activity  products? (show the equation) Which factors will affect enzyme activity? How to study the rate of reaction? (e.g. rate of disappearance of substrates or rate of formation of products) Independent variable: temperature of reaction mixture or at which the enzymatic reaction occurs. It can be varied by setting water bath at different desired temperature ranging from 0oC to100oC). Dependent variable: rate of amylase activity

    10 mmol/L | Albumin | 30 g/L | Glucose | 12 mmol/L | Amylase | 5000 U/L --- Normal Range: 60-180 U/L | Serum: Comment: The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is based on the clinical history‚ evidence of inflammation is known usually by computerized tomography (CT scan) and the finding of a high serum (or sometimes urinary) amylase activity. It is effectively a diagnosis of exclusion: the finding of a very high serum amylase activity is very suggestive but is not on its own diagnostic

    Experiment 2: Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase Theoretical Background Polymers of carbohydrates are called polysaccharides‚ and make up some of the most important naturally occurring compounds [1]. They have thousands of monosaccharide units linked to each other by oxygen bridges. They include starch‚ glycogen‚ and cellulose‚ all three of which yield only glucose when completely hydrolyzed [2]. A B Figure 1. Starch (amylose) (A) and cellulose (B) Starch

    Abstract α-amylase was immobilized covalently on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles was done by the coprecipitation conventional method. The chemical composition and particle size of the synthesized particles was confirmed via X-ray diffraction. Tyrosine‚ Lucien and chitosan and glutaraldehyde were investigated to make a covalent binding between the iron oxide magnetic core and the immobilized enzyme. Immobilization using chitosan and glutaraldehyde show

    PLANNING COURSEWORK- STARCH AND AMYLASE AIM The aim of this coursework is to investigate the effect of temperature change‚ on the rate of hydrolysis of starch catalysed by amylase. PREDICTION I think that as the temperature increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases‚ to a point when it dramatically decreases. On graph 1‚ you will see a sketch of the graph which I expect to be the result of the experiment. SCIENCE REASONING I think my prediction is correct because the rate of

    enzyme that involved in the reaction is salivary amylase. The action of amylase on starch is with the mixture of IKI (iodine and potassium iodide test).Starch solution will have a blue-black colour in the mixture but no changes in colour for maltose solution. When hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the starch solution‚ the color will
