Description: A peroxidase enzyme‚ which was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip)‚ is tested under various conditions in temperature‚ pH level‚ and competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). ABSTRACT: In order to determine the properties of an enzyme‚ a peroxidase enzyme was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip) and tested under various temperatures‚ pH levels‚ and by a competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). The enzyme activity was measured in various ways depending on the activity

After conducting the experiment and gathered the required data‚ we came to conclusion that certain environmental factors affect the enzyme activity rate. For the first experiment‚ where we tested the increase in concentration of enzyme with the substrate‚ we found that higher concentration of enzyme increases the rate of reaction of the enzyme. This is because more enzyme molecules are present‚ which allow more substrate molecules to get into the active sites of the enzyme (Sattler W& Esterbauer

Enzyme Reaction to Variable Elizabeth Alvidrez University of Texas at El Paso Abstract: An enzyme is a protein that serves as a biological catalyst (Denniston‚ 2007). Metabolic reactions happen with in cells. Enzymes are proteins that are used to speed up these reactions without being consumed by them (Mader‚ 2010). Catalase is a catalyst that digests potent hydrogen peroxide and converts it into H2O and O (Campbell Reese‚ 2008). The environment plays an important role

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that enable chemical reactions. In the enzyme lab‚ the effects of concentration‚ temperature and pH on the functionality of the enzyme catalase. The enzyme lab was also about measuring reactions by capturing the oxygen that was generated by the reaction. Materials and Methods: Experiment 1‚ 2‚ & 3 Experiment 1 examined the effects of concentration on catalase activity. Experiment 2 examined the effects of concentration in temperature

EXPERIMENT 201: WORK‚ ENERGY AND POWER John Michael A. Ramos‚ Phy11l/A5 Abstract The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object. The point of application of force must move in the direction of force. W = F x s. SI unit of work is joule. Energy is the capacity to do work. The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. Potential energy is

Experiment : 1 Tittle : Preparation of bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II) complex Objective : To synthesis the bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II) complex Introduction : A complex ion is usually form with high charge density metal ion as a central and formation of coordinate covalent bond (dative bond) with high electron molecules or ions. These molecules or ions are functioning as ligands (electrophile in organic compounds). They are easily attracted by electrophile (electron deficiency

Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and
