reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. Enzymes are precise and catalyze only detailed reaction. Specificity is an outcome of active site of enzyme that acts on the substrate. Catecholase‚ which catalyzes a reaction in which catechol‚ then catechol becomes the product called benzoquinone‚ which is a reddish-brown color‚ which make it easier to determine the quantity that has been formed.

too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol [2]. In the presence of oxygen‚ the removal of two hydrogen atoms oxidizes the compound catechol‚ as a result of the formation of water [2]. Oxygen is reduced by the addition of two hydrogen atoms‚ which also forms water‚ after catechol is converted to benzoquinone [2]. Long branched chains‚ the structural backbones of the red and brown melanoid pigments that cause

Three test tubes were used: the first one containing water and catechol only‚ the second one containing water and enzyme only‚ and the third one containing water and both catechol and enzyme. The results showed that the first tube containing only catechol had a low change in absorbance‚ the second tube containing only the enzyme also had a low change absorbance but higher than the first one‚ and the third tube containing both catechol and enzyme had a high change in absorbance. The higher the change

________________________________________________ Introduction: What was your null hypothesis? be specific A change in temperature in the reaction of catechol and catecholase will not change the absorbance of reaction over time. What was your alternative hypothesis? be specific As the environment and temperature is changed from 0 °c to 20°c to 95°c‚ the absorbance of catechol and catecholase reaction will increase over time. The rate of reaction increases as the temperature increases. Results: What were the

The first part of the experiment was broken into three sections. The first section showed the pH and color changes that an enzyme can create. It was predicted that when potato extract‚ the enzyme‚ was added to catechol‚ the substrate‚ an enzymatic reaction would occur. The second section of the experiment demonstrated enzyme specificity. It was predicted that potato extract‚ when hydroquinone was introduced‚ would not exhibit the characteristics of an enzymatic

then added 0.5 mL of substrate (catechol) into each test tube. In the instructions it says to apply your 0.5 mL of tyrosinase (potato extract) as well but you have to blank the spectrophotometer before. The results from this experiment confirms that our hypothesis of a neutral pH displaying a stronger impact on tyrosinase is true. According to our results the pH levels at a more neutral state showed a greater reaction compared to pH levels

filled with 3 ml of their corresponding pH phosphate buffer. 10 drops of catechol and 10 drops of potato juice‚ which contains catecholase‚ were added to each of the seven tubes. The tubes were covered with Parafilm‚ stood for 5 minutes‚ and mixed every minute. After the 5 minutes‚ data was recorded based on the intensity of color with the “0‚+‚++‚+++”
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Metabolism
Dopamine and the related substances norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EPI) comprise a small but important group of neurotransmitters and hormones called catecholamines. * Catecholamine contains two chemical similarities: a core structure of catechol and a nitrogen-containing group called an amine. The catecholamines‚ in turn‚ belong to a wider group of transmitter called either monoamines (transmitters that possess one amine group) or biogenic amines * EPI – adrenergic. NE- noradrenergic
