amylase and starch. Introduction The enzyme amylase is found in the human body‚ it catalyses the hydrolosis of internal glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides‚ the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it initiates the chemical process of digestion. Enzymes work best at an optimum pH of 7 which is the bodies normal pH. The pH affects the charge of the amino acid at the active site. PH changes affect the structure of an enzyme molecule and therefore affect its ability

Email: femijohn@gmail.com 43 INTRODUCTION The roles of metal ions in metalloenzymes include direct participation in catalysis‚ stabilization of protein structure and regulation of enzymatic activity. Membrane alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a metal-containing enzyme that serves as a good model for the study of metal ion interactions in enzyme catalysis. Native E. coli ALP contains three

Procedures for Part A: For Activity A‚ we first tested enzyme activity. First‚ we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then‚ we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that‚ we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that‚ we placed the test tube filled

Background Information Part 1 In the first part of the enzyme lab‚ we mixed a substrate and an indicator with an enzyme. There was also a neutral buffer in each of the chemical mixtures. The neutral buffer regulated the pH to around 7. We got a color palette and once we mixed each together‚ we observed and saw a change in the color of the substance. The darker and more brown the substance got‚ the more oxygen produced by the reaction. Our results showed that amount of oxygen produced increased

Enzyme kinetics (catalase/kmno4) Enzyme catalysis Farah Mohamed galal 22-3014 t09 Introduction: E + S → ES → E + P Enzymes are proteins which act as a catalyst in biochemical reactions(affect the rate of achemical reaction). The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. Any deformation of the active site will affect the activity of the enzyme‚ these are some ways that enzyme action may be affected because of them: 1- Salt concentration: If it is close to zero or very high

Observation #1 * The cracker turned a black colour when the Lugol’s solution was added to it. This was a positive result‚ meaning that the cracker contains starch. Test #2 * Add a bigger piece of cracker in test tube #2‚ add 5 mL of Benedict’s solution‚ place in a boiling water bath‚ and record observations

In this lab we used a solution of lactase to test the chemical and physiological properties of this particular enzyme and determined whether the lactase came from human cells or bacterial cells. In the statistical analysis statistical formulas and techniques are used to analyze the significance of a set of data and the validity of the conclusions made based on that data. These are some terms and definitions that will be crucial to understanding the validity of this experiment. An enzyme is a protein

The Catalyst of My Life There’s always an agent for every renewal. The agent is the one responsible for the magnificent effect that causes a great impact into our lives. In my life there are so many dilemmas that I have encountered and I conquered all of those dilemmas because of the catalysts whom I considered as the hero to my life who always there for me in good times and in bad times. Of course I considered the Almighty God as my infinite hero but aside from God‚ without her I think my life
