Abstract Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy needed for chemical reactions. The two main environmental factors that can affect the enzyme’s activity are temperature and pH‚ and each enzyme works best at a particular temperature and pH. The purpose of this enzyme kinetic experiment was to observe the effect of temperature and pH on the reaction of barley alpha-amylase enzyme with starch substrate and establish the optimum temperature and pH for this reaction. The optimum temperature

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

The reactions and Results of Using Enzyme Turnip Root Peroxidase Lab results from: Andrew Compton‚ Mickey. Results published 9/29/2012. TA: In this series of laboratory experiments‚ my lab partner and I were to conduct an experiment about the oxidation rate of the enzyme peroxidase in the presence of its substrate guiacol. Also we used other substrates‚ such as hydroxylamine an enzyme inhibitor‚ to observe the weather the reaction rate was slowed down‚ sped up‚ or stopped reactions all together

the substrate causes a conformational change in the enzyme such that the active site achieves the exact configuration required for a reaction to occur. The overall effect would be a tighter binding for the substrate and enzyme. Think of it as a lock and key model. There are specific substrates that combine to a specific enzyme. The theory basically states that both enzyme and active site change shape so only a specific substrate bind to the enzyme and creating the wanted products that the reaction

September 2014 AP Biology Enzymes: Biological Catalysts: Reading Notes 1. Concept: An enzyme alters the activation energy of a reaction Enzyme is 3D – allows it to associate with substrate (molecule that will go thru reaction) Enzyme brings two substrates together in correct orientation (dehydration synthesis) or stresses bonds of substrate (hydrolysis) - lowers activation energy for new bonds to be formed/ broken Different types of cells have different types of enzymes – affects structure/function

The following graph shows the normal rate of reaction of an enzyme and tits substrate (blue) and the rate when an excess of competitive inhibitor is present (red). Explain why the graph appears as it does. On one hand‚ we have the blue line. It represents an enzyme bonding with its substrate. The line is steep‚ the reaction time is quick. Then we have a red line. The red line represents an enzyme reaction with competitive inhibitor present. The red line is much less steep. The rate of reaction

by a number of things. Something that has a major effect on enzyme regulation and stability is temperature. Since enzymes are biochemical catalysts‚ made up at least partially of protein‚ they are sensitive in varying degrees to heat. Raising temperatures of the environment generally multiplies the degree of activity by the enzyme. Once an optimum temperature has been reached‚ however‚ temperatures that are too high will denature the enzyme it will loose its ability to

Experiment: Enzyme Inhibitors. Research question: What is the effect of adding lead nitrate solution on the activity of amylase enzyme? Aim: To test the effect of adding nitrate solution on the activity of amylase. Background Information: Inhibitors are molecules which repress or prevent another molecule from engaging in a reaction. They are substances that attach themselves onto an enzyme and reduce or prevent the enzyme’s ability to catalyse reactions. Competitive Inhibitors are inhibitors that occupy
