Immobilized Enzyme Immobilized Enzyme * Enzymes which are attached to small bead made of alginate are called immobilized enzyme * However‚ whatever the nature of an immobilized enzyme‚ it must comprise two essential functions‚ namely the non-catalytic functions (NCF) that are designed to aid separation and the catalytic functions (CF) that are designed to convert the target compounds within the time and space desired * Immobilized enzymes might meet the increasing demand by manufacturers

Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for protein

An experiment was run to determine which enzyme (pectinase‚ and cellulase or combinations of the two enzymes) maximizes juice production and would be most cost effective. The proposed hypothesis was if the enzyme‚ pectinase‚ is added to apple juice‚ then the more juice will be extracted than if cellulase were added because pectinase holds the cell wall together and if it is separated apart from each other‚ then the more juice would be able to flow out. The experimental data show that during the ten

Choosing 1. You should choose the fruits that you like. a. For example‚ if you desire to gain more different fruits enzymes or make the glass bottle more colorful‚ you can choose four or even more kind of fruits. There is no limitation. But‚ you must include one fruit‚ lemon. It helps to kill the bacteria of the drink. B. Composing 1. The ratio of components should be 3‚ 1. It means 3 parts of fruits‚ 1 part of sugar. You can follow this ratio to determine the amount of fruit and sugar that you need

Enzyme Lab Marcus James. December 20‚ 2013 HL Biology 3 Period 1 Purpose and Background The purpose of this lab is to explain how enzymes act as catalysts for biological reactions in different temperatures. This lab relates to enzymes‚ proteins‚ and substrates; that we learned in class. The union of the enzyme and the substrate is called the enzyme-substrate complex. The make-up of an enzyme is proteins and made up of chains and amino acids. Enzymes

When it comes to a job that I will like to do in the future‚ I would like to choose teaching‚ which is considered one of the best jobs in the world. There are lots of children all over the world can not go to school simply due to the lack of teachers. Several months ago‚ I watched a TV program showing that teachers were badly needed in many parts of our world‚ places like western parts of China‚ Southeast Asia‚ and Africa. It also broadcasted the stories of a couple from the United States who

There are many reasons why enzymes have such a high specificity. The first variable is an enzyme’s primary structure. A primary structure is just a combination of amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids that the primary structure can be created from. Every enzyme has a different order that the acids are placed in and each one has a different number or amino acids. The slightest change in this structure can affect a protein’s conformation and function. The secondary structure is a regular

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

Action of enzymes as catalysts in biochemical processes * Enzymes acts as catalyst and increase the rate of all the chemical reactions. * Enzymes are also described by two properties like all other catalysts. It composed of two main functions. * The first function is that‚ they increase the rate of chemical reactions by without consumed themselves or undergo any change or alteration in the reaction. . ( Zemitec et‚al 2008). * The second function is‚ they increase reaction rates
