Enzymes are proteins that increase or decrease the rate of chemical reactions. They are generally globular proteins and are around 62 amino acids residues in size. What enzymes do is determined by their 2-dimensional shape. A lot of enzymes are bigger than the substrate they act on‚ but only a little part of the enzyme involved directly with the catalysis. Without enzymes the chemical reactions in the body‚ would be so slow‚ the body would shut down. And cell reactions would take too much energy

Kunal Bhattacharjee Period 8 AP Bio Enzyme Catalysis Lab Report by Kunal Bhattacharjee 1 Kunal Bhattacharjee Period 8 AP Bio Enzyme Lab Report INTRO: Enzymes are a type of proteins that are formed by Amino acids and help speed up metabolic reactions. They are able to do this by interacting with the substrate . The substrate is what is being breaking down in the reaction. The substrate comes in to contact with the enzyme by binding to the enzyme’s unique active site

Enzymes are biological catalysts that operate at the temperatures‚ pressures‚ and moderate pH values found in living organisms. They help in a faster chemical reaction in our human body. Besides this‚ enzymes also play a huge role in various industries. The following paragraphs will talk about how various enzymes are used in various industries : The Dairy Industry and Medical Industry. In the dairy industry‚ the enzyme Protease is used widely. While making cheese‚ protease helps coagulate milk

1. A) I would expect the active site of nylonase to consist mainly of polar amino acids with a few nonpolar amino acids as well because the substrate for nylonase is polar overall‚ but has many nonpolar bonds. What makes me think that the nylonase enzyme is polar is that the substrate that would bind to the active site of nylonase has extreme polarity between carbon and oxygen‚ and between hydrogen and nitrogen due to their differences in electronegativity’s‚ but it still has the nonpolar bonds between

Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen

Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe‚ M 2002‚ p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed‚ the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place. Enzymes can either catabolize

The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity and Oxygen Production Throughout this report you will gain information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how

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

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
