Enzyme Inhibition Many drugs exert their action by inhibition of an enzyme activity in the body. If the activity of an enzyme is vital to the cell or organism‚ then inhibition may lead to death of the cell or organism. It is now possible to design new drugs which are enzyme inhibitors once a target enzyme has been identified. Types of Inhibitors A) Reversible Inhibitors: The effect of the inhibitor is instantaneous‚ and it can be removed from the enzyme by dialysis so that the enzyme activity

Project Enzymes are organic catalysts produced by living organisms which aid in the progression of specific biochemical reactions without undergoing any permanent chemical changes themselves. They are complex‚ conjugated proteins necessary and required to sustain life. Today‚ enzymes are also used world-wide in a variety of different industrial applications such as the production of paper‚ wine fermentation‚ and bio-remediation. One of the most important industrial applications enzymes are used

AS Biology‚ Biological Molecules Revision Notes Distinguish between monomers and polymers: Monomers- Identical small molecules. Polymers- Chainlike molecules formed from the linking together of many similar. Distinguish between monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides: Monosaccharides- Simple sugars; sugar molecules may be enantiomers due due to the spatial arrangement of parts around asymmetric carbons; raw material for synthesis of other organic molecules. Disaccharides-

Biological Science Lesson 1 Zoology - branch of biology that deals with the life of animals. 1. Morphology - studies forms and structure of animals. a. Gross anatomy - performs surgical technique ; dissection (cutting up). b. Paleontology - studies pre-historic forms of animals through fossil. 2. Histology - study of tissues & organs‚ their structure‚ functions & composition at a microscopic level. 3. Cytology - study of the structure & function and its parts at microsopic level or

MISEP Chemistry 512 – Jacobs Enzyme Catalyst Lab - Formal Report – August 8‚ 2007 ABSTRACT This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased‚ then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question‚ we varied a combination of substrate and buffer‚ totaling 6mL‚ with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst‚ peroxidase‚ increased

Enzyme kinetics (catalase/kmno4) Enzyme catalysis Farah Mohamed galal 22-3014 t09 Introduction: E + S → ES → E + P Enzymes are proteins which act as a catalyst in biochemical reactions(affect the rate of achemical reaction). The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. Any deformation of the active site will affect the activity of the enzyme‚ these are some ways that enzyme action may be affected because of them: 1- Salt concentration: If it is close to zero or very high

Enzyme Kinetics Marcos‚ Nelissa S. Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines ABSTRACT The rationale of the experiment is basically founded in the concept of reaction rates as affected by enzyme‚ and how the enzyme works is competed by a competitive inhibitor‚ thereby impeding the forward reaction. In this experiment‚ o-diphenol oxidase‚ an enzyme that causes the browning in fruits‚ was extracted from banana and reaction rate of this was established

My lab group studied the effect of PH on reaction rate/ enzyme activity measured by foam height. PH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration‚ the lower the pH. Every enzyme has an optimal PH‚ meaning they have a very small window in which they are most active. Our enzyme (potato smoothie) had an optimal PH of 7.0-7.5. We know this because we measured the enzyme’s reaction rate by measuring foam height. The largest foam height we

Discovery Restriction enzymes were discovered 40 years ago during investigations into the phenomenon of host-specific restriction and modification of bacterial viruses. Restriction enzymes protect bacteria from infections by viruses‚ and it is generally accepted that this is their role in nature. They function as microbial immune systems. When a strain of E. coli lacking a restriction enzyme is infected with a virus‚ most virus particles can initiate a successful infection. When the same strain
