    structure of the enzyme is mainly dependent on the active site and variable groups. Extreme temperatures or extreme pHs can alter the structure of an enzyme. Enzymes function to lower the activation energy to break the bonds. They achieve this by putting stress and pressure on the bonds or creating a microenvironment for the substrate. Enzymes are regulated by inhibitors or activators and can be inhibited by the products of the reaction‚ called feedback inhibition. Enzymes are catalytic proteins;

    Enzyme activity The introduction is a statement of the subject and objectives of the experiment and presents your hypothesis. Relevant background information (appropriately referenced) is given in sufficient detail that a person unfamiliar with the topic can understand the nature of the experiment. A good introduction is clear and concise. Carbohydrates and proteins should be explained in terms of their structure and major functions in cells. Your intro should end with a brief overview of the amylase

    Enzymes Enzymes are the sparks that start the essential chemical reactions our bodies need to live. They are necessary for digesting food‚ for stimulating the brain‚ for providing cellular energy‚ and for repairing all tissues‚ organs‚ and cells. There are three types of enzymes: metabolic enzymes‚ digestive enzymes‚ and food enzymes. Metabolic enzymes catalyse‚ or spark‚ the reactions within the cells. The body’s organs‚ tissues and cells are run by metabolic enzymes. Without them our bodies

    The Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Activity The pancreatic duct in individuals who have cystic fibrosis frequently becomes blocked‚ reducing or preventing the release of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. The aim of this activity is to investigate the effect of a reduction in enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction‚ in this case the breakdown of protein by protease enzymes. Aim – Milk powder contains a white protein called casein. A white suspension of

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

    There are many reasons why enzymes have such a high specificity. The first variable is an enzyme’s primary structure. A primary structure is just a combination of amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids that the primary structure can be created from. Every enzyme has a different order that the acids are placed in and each one has a different number or amino acids. The slightest change in this structure can affect a protein’s conformation and function. The secondary structure is a regular

    My lab group studied the effect of PH on reaction rate/ enzyme activity measured by foam height. PH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration‚ the lower the pH. Every enzyme has an optimal PH‚ meaning they have a very small window in which they are most active. Our enzyme (potato smoothie) had an optimal PH of 7.0-7.5. We know this because we measured the enzyme’s reaction rate by measuring foam height. The largest foam height we

    MISEP Chemistry 512 – Jacobs Enzyme Catalyst Lab - Formal Report – August 8‚ 2007 ABSTRACT This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased‚ then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question‚ we varied a combination of substrate and buffer‚ totaling 6mL‚ with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst‚ peroxidase‚ increased
