Background Information: Trypsin is a protease which conducts hydrolysis forming peptides. It is an enzyme which is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine and works best in an alkaline environment. Egg white is used in this practical as it is found to contain the protein/ enzyme trypsin. pH is the measure of the amount of H+ ions in a solution‚ these ions affect the shape of the enzyme. Hypothesis: That as pH increases‚ the rate of enzymatic activity increases until the optimum pH

Enzymes Enzymes are the sparks that start the essential chemical reactions our bodies need to live. They are necessary for digesting food‚ for stimulating the brain‚ for providing cellular energy‚ and for repairing all tissues‚ organs‚ and cells. There are three types of enzymes: metabolic enzymes‚ digestive enzymes‚ and food enzymes. Metabolic enzymes catalyse‚ or spark‚ the reactions within the cells. The body’s organs‚ tissues and cells are run by metabolic enzymes. Without them our bodies

grouped into primary events that include the metabolism of residual lactose and of lactate and citrate. There are different types of cheeses because there are many enzymes that are used to make the cheese‚ and also there are endless forms of molds that help age cheese giving each cheese its distinctive taste‚ texture and appearance. Enzymes are used in many food production processes to speed up the chemical reactions‚ which reduces water usage and energy consumption. The original objective of cheese

Enzymes and Their Importance in Plants and Animals Enzymes are large proteins that are responsible for catalysing thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life. Enzymes work similarly to those catalysts used in industry by lowering activation energy and therefore dramatically speeding up the rate of a reaction‚ however‚ these biological catalysts are highly selective to their substrate. Almost every chemical reaction that occurs in a cell requires enzymes in order to occur at rates required

1.7 Factors that affect the activity of an enzyme It is important when working with enzymes to understand basic enzymatic theory behind them when selecting conditions to measure the activity of the enzymes. The factors that are known to affect the concentration of enzymes are temperature‚ pH‚ concentration of enzyme‚ concentration of substrate‚ buffer type and concentration‚ the presence of any inhibitors and cofactors (Worthington-biochem.com). 1.7.1. Temperature With most catalysed reactions‚

Kaplan University SC300: Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutation Part 1: The scientific method involves using several steps in order to reach a conclusion about a particular inquiry. The steps are basically an investigation process. The method is an ongoing cycle that should be applied with intelligence and creativity. Some of the steps can occur at the same time‚ in a different order or even repeated during the experiment in order to improve the conclusion. (about.com. 2011)

What effect does temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one

Purpose: To find how pH and temperature levels affect the enzyme Background: Enzymes are a type of protein vital to sustaining life‚ it works with vitamins and minerals as a biological catalyst‚ which lowers the activation energy for a reaction to occur. Each individual type of enzyme does a specific job‚ and they do not die‚ they are reused. For example‚ catalase is an enzyme found in almost all living cells that will break down hydrogen peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. The
