Enzymes Reactions to Changes in Substrate and Inhibitors Benjamin J. Mora Coronado University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at Edinburgh Abstract Purpose for the experiments was to test the enzymes in various scenarios and see how changing this would affect the rate of reaction. The enzyme source used in the experiments was Turnip Extract. Concentrations of Turnip extract for activity 1 where o.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ and 2.0 ml as for the rest of the activities 2 Through 4 stayed at a consistent concentration

LABORATORY 3 The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of PNPP Hydrolysis Partners: Shelby Cruickshanks Alexis Williamson Introduction Most of the chemical reactions‚ which occur throughout our bodies‚ would proceed at a much slower rate of reaction without the presence of an enzyme. Cells can not wait for centuries for molecules to break down‚ if they waited for that‚ there would be no way for the organism to obtain energy or in turn survive. This is where biological catalyst comes into

The bonding of an enzyme to its substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. The catalytic action of the enzyme converts its substrate into the product or products of the reaction. Each reaction is extremely specific‚ distinguishing between closely related compounds‚ including isomers. For example‚ the enzyme sucrase will only act on sucrose and will not bind to any other disaccharide. The molecular recognition of enzymes is due to the fact that they are proteins‚ which are defined as being macromolecules

How Environment Can Effect Enzymes Introduction: In a chemical reaction there sometimes can be a catalyst present known as an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the amount of activation energy required to start the reaction. By lowering the activation energy‚ more of the substrate is able to participate in the reaction‚ speeding it up. Enzymes are substrate specific. The substrate is what the enzyme bonds to. That is to say that enzyme A will only react

Enzymes and their importance in plants and animals (25 marks) Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which accelerate the speed of chemical reactions in the body without being used up or changed in the process. Animals and plants contain enzymes which help break down fats‚ carbohydrates and proteins into smaller molecules the cells can use to get energy and carry out the processes that allow the plant or animal to survive. Without enzymes‚ most physiological processes would not take place. Hundreds of

ID:0720052 Effect of an Increasing Substrate Concentration on Enzyme Activity Rate Abstract The reaction rate of an enzyme can be affected by many factors‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to find out how an increasing substrate concentration influences the rate of an enzyme activity; we obtained data from recording the absorbance of the samples which contain the same amount of potato juice (enzyme oxidase) and different amount of catechol (substrate) while holding pH and temperature constant

As the temperature increased‚ the enzyme activity also increased‚ however‚ only to an optimal level which was at temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient

Enzymes What Are Enzymes? Substances that speed up chemical reactions are called catalysts. Organic catalysts are called enzymes. Enzymes are specific for one particular reaction or group of related reactions. Many reactions cannot occur without the correct enzyme present. They are often named by adding "ase" to the name of the substrate. Example: Dehydrogenases are enzymes that remove hydrogen. Induced-fit Theory The shape of the enzyme must match the shape of the substrate

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to investigate and demonstrate hydrogen bonding and London dispersion bonding in water and rubbing alcohol. Hypothesis: I believe water will have the greater surface tension because rubbing alcohol’s density is lower than water’s. Materials: * Water * Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) * Pennies * Paper clips * Flasks * Cups or jars * Wax paper * Eyedropper Procedures: Part 1: Surface tension and vortex: * Fill
