Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of temperature on the enzyme lipase INTRODUCTION: The phenomenon of catalysis makes possible biochemical reactions necessary for all life processes. Catalysis is defined as the acceleration of a chemical reaction by some substance which itself undergoes no permanent chemical change. The catalysts of biochemical reactions are enzymes and are responsible for bringing about almost all of the chemical reactions in living organisms. Without enzymes‚ these

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen

the Peroxidase Enzyme & Temperature Abstract: In this lab we tested the effect temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the different absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for two minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low

The Affects of pH on Peroxidase Enzyme Claire Bell Biology 1130 Jazmen Myers Section 36 Abstract Peroxidase is a turnip enzyme; it is used in the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide to lower activation energy‚ speeding up the reaction. The activity of peroxidase is highly dependent on its environment and most importantly the pH level. Peroxidase has been the focus of many recent studies and is believed to possibly reduce swelling among other things. We conducted an experiment testing

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
