Abstract α-amylase was immobilized covalently on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles was done by the coprecipitation conventional method. The chemical composition and particle size of the synthesized particles was confirmed via X-ray diffraction. Tyrosine‚ Lucien and chitosan and glutaraldehyde were investigated to make a covalent binding between the iron oxide magnetic core and the immobilized enzyme. Immobilization using chitosan and glutaraldehyde show

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effects of changes in temperatures and pH on enzyme activity in skeletal muscle‚ particularly the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is a glycolytic enzyme which converts pyruvate to lactate in the following equation: LDH Pyruvate+ NADH ------------ Lactate + NAD The reaction above can move in both directions‚

Investigation Into The Effect Of PH On The Activity Of Potato Tissue Catalase Aim The aim of my investigation is to see how pH affects the activity of potato tissue catalase‚ during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen. Catalase + 2H2O2 Catalase + 2H2O +O2 Catalase + Hydrogen Peroxide Catalase + Water + Oxygen Independent Variable The independent variable in this investigation is pH. Each individual enzyme has it’s own pH characteristic.

Pancreatic Amylase Statement of the Problem: What happens to enzymes when they are boiled? If digestion doesn’t occur‚ which will be present starch or maltose? If digestion does occur‚ which will be present starch or maltose? Hypothesis: I predict that when enzymes are boiled‚ they will become larger. If digestion does not occur starch will be present‚ and if it does occur maltose will be present. Materials: Test Tube Boiling Water Starch Suspension Pancreatic Amylase Solution

PLANNING COURSEWORK- STARCH AND AMYLASE AIM The aim of this coursework is to investigate the effect of temperature change‚ on the rate of hydrolysis of starch catalysed by amylase. PREDICTION I think that as the temperature increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases‚ to a point when it dramatically decreases. On graph 1‚ you will see a sketch of the graph which I expect to be the result of the experiment. SCIENCE REASONING I think my prediction is correct because the rate of

How Temperature Affects Amylase Activity Abstract This study of the effect of temperature on the enzyme amylase was performed to determine the relationship between the enzyme amylase and temperature. The rate of reaction was found to increase as the temperature of the environment was raised. As the temperature was raised from 5°C‚ 20°C‚ 35°C and finally to 80°C the rate of reaction followed this trend and also increased. However as predicted in the hypothesis of this experiment when the temperature
