Abstract: Enzymes are specific-type proteins that act as a catalyst by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Each enzyme binds closely to the substrate; this greatly increases the reaction rate of the bounded substrate. Amylase enzyme‚ just like any other enzyme‚ has an optimum PH and temperature range in which it is most active‚ and in which the substrate binds most easily. The purpose of this experiment was to determine (1) the reaction rate of an amylase enzyme in starch and (2)

the enzyme rennin. Hypothesis: I believe the rate of reaction will speed up as the temperature increases until it reaches about 37oC‚ which is the body temperature‚ where it will begin to slow down and stop reacting. I believe this will occur because enzymes have a temperature range at which they work best in and once the temperature goes out of this range the enzyme will stop working. Introduction:Enzymes are made up of proteins which are produced within living cells and act as catalysts which

Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. Enzymes are catalyst for biochemical reactions; Enzymes lower the activation ATP so a reaction can begin over the energy barriers. In this lab‚ a discussion of the enzymes reaction to heat will be addressed. Does heat speed up the enzyme reaction? The prediction is as more heat is applied more reactions will occur then at some point the heat will denature the enzyme as it reaches

Investigating the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme catalase. Introduction Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colourless in a dilute solution‚ slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used for bleaching paper. Catalase is a common enzyme found in all living organisms. Its functions include the conversion of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially

Three Main Catalysts that Brought the U.S. Into World War II Throughout time scholars have examined human history and many events come to mind. While many of these events have good explanations or just reasons why they occurred‚ there are a handful of events that had no rhyme or reason‚ and these events will continue to baffle scholars for centuries to come. There is one event that continues to stand out when considering the events of the 1900’s. The events of World War II are extremely broad and

Enzymes are catalytic proteins that selectively speed up chemical reactions without by consumed by the reaction itself (1). Enzyme activity is significantly affected by factors such as temperature‚ substrate concentration‚ enzyme concentration and pH. Enzymes are highly specific and only catalyse one specific chemical reaction‚ speeding up the reaction by lowering the activation energy‚ the energy required to start a chemical reaction (2). At high temperatures and with various mechanical forces or

Introduction “The Enzyme Reaction” An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst‚ which brings out a biochemical reaction. A Catalase enzyme‚ the enzyme tested in this experiment‚ is found in almost all living organisms that are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable
