----------------------------------------------------- Abstract The interactions of Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions in the activation of non-specific tissue alkaline phosphatase were investigated using crude extracts of rat kidney. Activation of alkaline phosphatase by the metal ions was accompanied by changes in the kinetic parameters of pnitrophenylphosphate hydrolysis. The results suggest some synergistic interactions between Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions in promoting the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate by alkaline

Chemical kinetics‚ also known as reaction kinetics‚ is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction’s mechanism and transition states‚ as well as the construction of mathematical models that can describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction. In 1864‚ Peter Waage and Cato Guldberg pioneered the development of chemical kinetics by formulating

milk Introduction Enzymes are globular protein‚ responsible for most of the chemical activities of living organisms. They are made up of long chains of amino acids containing carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen (Gunsch‚ 2012). The role of enzyme is to act as catalysts‚ substances that speed up chemical reactions without being chemically altered during the process. The speeding up of chemical reactions is done by lowering the activation energy required to start a reaction. Enzymes are specific in

There are approximately 40‚000 enzymes living in one human cell‚ each responsible for a chemical reaction. Enzymes are complex 3D protein molecules created by amino acids‚ forming a unique sequence that produces hydrogen bonds‚ eventually formulating an enzyme within plants and animals (Boyle & Senior‚ 2002). Working alongside other molecules‚ they uphold a stable reaction system. The function of an enzyme is to aid and increase chemical reactions and organise metabolism‚ while maintaining homeostasis

KINETIC ENERGY Objects have energy because of their motion; this energy is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of the objects having mass m and velocity v can be calculated with the formula given below; K=1/2mv² Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity‚ acceleration‚ force‚ and momentum‚ the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy‚ the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

is 66 seconds. At 600C‚ the time taken for the permanganate to decolorize is 10s. The higher temperature of the reaction‚ the faster the time taken for the permanganate to decolorize. This is because the higher temperature implies higher average kinetic energy of molecules and more collisions per unit time. The rate of effective collision increases‚ the rate of reaction increases. As a result‚ the time taken for reaction decreases when temperature increasing. The graph shows that 1/T is decreasing
