Ah Seung Chong Molecular Biology CTW: Enzyme Kinetic Dr. Cruz 07/22/2010 Enzyme kinetics Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants‚ without enzyme many of important processes of life could not happen. Most of enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions by lowering amount of activation energy needed for the reaction1. Enzymes are usually highly selective‚ only bind to specific substrate and convert it to product at a particular rate1. The rate of the reaction

Purpose: Restriction enzymes cut DNA at a certain palindromic sequence. Three samples of lamda DNA set up to be cut with restriction enzymes PstI‚ EcoRI‚ or HindDIII. There were also two more samples‚ one of these samples was not mixed with any restriction enzyme and the other was a marker‚ which used an enzyme which creates fragments with a known number of base pairs used to create a standard curve. All five samples were put through agarose gel electrophoresis in order to estimate the amount of

Shalacia Gilmore Fall 2012 BIO 1107 Natural Selection Lab INTRODUCTION In the 1850s‚ two scientists by the name of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace composed the theory of evolution by natural selection. (1) Darwin characterized several claims needed for natural selection to happen‚ including heritable variation within the population‚ and the presence of more individuals than the environment can support. They also discovered that certain environments favored certain traits. These

Enzyme assay lab report Health and safety: 4-nitrophenol is harmful. Introduction: Enzymes are quaternary structured proteins that are specific biological catalysts that speed up a reaction without being used up. They contain an active site that allows substrate to bind to a specific area on the enzyme which is of a complimentary shape of the substrate. There are two models of enzyme action‚ the Lock and Key model and the Induced Fit model. The Lock and Key model states that the enzyme has a specific

Investigation on the effects of Temperature‚ pH levels‚ and Enzyme Concentration on the reaction rate of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by Catalase The purpose of this investigation is to figure out how temperature‚ pH‚ and enzyme concentration affect the reaction rate of an enzyme. It’s important to understand how certain factors affect enzymes because of their crucial role in the metabolic processes of life. Enzymes lower the activation energy necessary for a chemical reaction to

Name: Siti Nur Amalina binti Mohamad Sukri Class: M12E Title: Cell Respiration and Aquatic Animal Aim: To investigate the effect of a change in the temperature of water on the respiration rate of a goldfish. Research question: Does a change in temperature of water affect the respiration rate of a goldfish? Introduction: “The goldfish is a domesticated subspecies of a carp like fish called Carassius auratus. Goldfish are usually kept as pets‚ feeding on fish food‚ algae‚ plankton and other

Concentration of liquid foods is a fundamental operation in many food processes; it is completely different from dehydration. Usually‚ foods‚ which are concentrated‚ remain in the liquid state; while drying produces solid or semisolid foods with significantly lower water content. The concentration of liquid foods has three different methods; evaporation‚ membrane concentration‚ and freeze concentration. Evaporation usages gas liquid phase separation. It has the lowest capital cost and the maximum
