    they come into contact with atmospheric oxygen. As the pH of solution increases‚ so does the degree of browning of the apple slice. Low pH solutions will cause the enzyme to be inactivated and therefore cause the degree of browning to decrease. As the pH increases so does the degree of browning‚ because the pH becomes closer to the enzymes optimum pH level. Independent Variable: The pH solutions that the apple pieces are placed into. Range of pH levels to be tested is 3‚ 6‚ 8‚ 10‚ and 12. Each solution

    The enzyme tyrosinase was successively extracted by combining a homogenate of a potato and sodium sulfate with ammonium sulfate. Tyrosinase was successfully extracted by taking advantage of solubility properties of certain proteins. A standard curve was generated indicating dopachrome absorbance values through the use of a spectrophotometer and a computer graphing program. A spectrophotometer was used to measure either the amount of light that passed through a solution (transmittance) of the amount

    Lab report nº4 The aim of this experiment was to observe the change of enzyme reaction with different concentration of solution. For this experiment we used potato enzymes (catalase) and hydrogen peroxide in concentrations of 100%‚ 80%‚ 60%‚ 40%‚ and 20% According to P.George: “When catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide‚ there is an initial rapid evolution of oxygen which lasts for about two minutes‚ depending on the peroxide concentration. After this‚ oxygen is given off at a steady rate which

    The purpose of this review paper is to discuss the effect of temperature on enzyme- catalyzed reactions. This is relevant because many diseases can be diagnosed and controlled by the processes of enzyme activity (Worthington 2015). If more information is not found about enzyme activity and how it is affected‚ many diseases may go undiagnosed and uncontrolled. Temperature is a type measurement that does not only consist of heat. It is the measurement of the mean kinetic energy of any group of particles

    This lab is adapted from the canned denatured pineapple experiment. Instead of investigating the effect of canning on enzyme activity‚ we look for the presence of the substrate. This is a useful teaching lab for all the criteria and requires very few resources. Background Information: Gelatin is made from a protein called collagen which comes from the joints of animals. Gelatin may be dissolved in hot water. As the dissolved gelatin mixture cools‚ the collagen forms into a matrix that

    Adding Enzymes to Improve Beef Tenderness By Chris R. Calkins‚ Ph.D. and Gary Sullivan‚ University of Nebraska Importance of Beef Tenderness Beef palatability is affected by many factors and tenderness is cited as one of the most important. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for a guaranteed tender product with the potential to increase the value of the middle meats over $60 per carcass (Miller et al.‚ 2001). Consequently‚ the meat industry is in a continual search for methods to improve the

    Six Factors Affecting the Performance of an Enzyme Enzymes are considered catalysts; substances that increase the rates of reactions. Enzymes are responsible for thousands of metabolic processes that involve the sustainment of life‚ one common one is simple food digestion. Without enzymes‚ digestion would occur too slowly for life to continue. Enzymes maintain a protein structure consisting of one or possibly more than one polypeptide chains of defined primary structure‚ and take up a characteristic

    Enzymes are responsible for many crucial processes in living cells since they accelerate chemical reactions which would occur too slowly‚ or would lead to different products without their contribution. Enzymes are biocatalysts that usually show high affinity to a specific substrate under particular environmental conditions. The binding of the substrate and catalysis take place at a specific small region‚ around 10 amino acids‚ in the enzyme known as active site which usually represents a hydrophobic

    Principles of Biology Lab Exercise Enzymes: Catalysts of Life Instructor: Professor Alcendor By Shahid Rana Date: March 7th‚ 2013 Abstract: In this experiment we have demonstrated the function of enzymes. The whole experiment was devoted to understand how enzymes work as a catalysts and increase the chemical reaction without being used themselves. In general‚ enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts. These enzymes adhere to lower to amount of energy required for
