to see the effects of enzyme concentration on the reaction rate. Part 2: Effect of Substrate Concentration Purpose: The purpose of this part of the lab was to find the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity. Part 3: Effect of Temprature Purpose: The purpose of this part of the lab was to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of enzyme activity. Part

some weight training will most likely be required‚ but not to the point where you are training to be an professional athlete. Realize that weight training can only take you so far and really only the elite athletes fully understand that having an optimum sports nutrition diet is the key to taking their game to the next level. In laymen’s terms nutrition is the science of providing the athlete with not only the proper amount of food but the correct types of food. In addition‚ hydration is also crucial

experiment shows the effects of changing the pH level has on Catalase. As predicted‚ the farther away the pH levels got from the optimum pH (7.2)‚ the lower the reaction rate. At a pH of 7.2‚ the foam of the reaction measures 6cm. At a ph of 3 it measures 2.5 cm‚ at a pH of 5 it measures 2.75 cm‚ at ph 9 it measures 2.3 and at 11cm it measures 2cm. pH measures the hydrogen ion concentration of a substrate. By changing the pH of the catalase‚ the enzyme was denatured. Denaturing is the result of altering

Enzymes All enzymes are globular proteins and round in shape They have the suffix "-ase" Intracellular enzymes are found inside the cell Extracellular enzymes act outside the cell (e.g. digestive enzymes) Enzymes are catalysts → speed up chemical reactions Reduce activation energy required to start a reaction between molecules Substrates (reactants) are converted into products Reaction may not take place in absence of enzymes (each enzyme has a specific catalytic action) Enzymes catalyse

on rate of an enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower a reactions activation energy making possible many of the reactions needed for life to exist. Enzymes have a high specificity which have been explained by many theories such as Fischer’s lock and key. Currently the most widely accepted theory is the induced fit hypothesis proposed by Koshland in 1958. This hypothesis solves some of the problems with the Lock and key theory and helps to explain why enzymes only catalyze
Premium Enzyme Catalysis Protein
Most of life’s biological processes involve the use of protein catalyst called enzymes‚ that help speed up chemical reactions within the body without being denatured in the processes. Enzymes can be used continually by temporary binding to a specific substrate in the active site to convert the substrate into a product that the cell needs to perform a specific function. Without the use of catalyst enzymes‚ homeostasis wouldn’t be able to occur quickly enough which can result in many bodily functions

For known amounts of reactants‚ theoretical amounts of product can be calculated in a chemical process. These calculated products are determined using the limiting reagent‚ (the substance that runs out first which stops the reaction) and are called the theoretical yield. The theoretical yield is the amount of product that should be acquired during the experiment if all aspects go perfectly. However‚ due to experimental errors‚ very few labs do so. These results are called actual yield. The percent

The Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Activity The pancreatic duct in individuals who have cystic fibrosis frequently becomes blocked‚ reducing or preventing the release of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. The aim of this activity is to investigate the effect of a reduction in enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction‚ in this case the breakdown of protein by protease enzymes. Aim – Milk powder contains a white protein called casein. A white suspension of
