– Restriction Enzyme Digestion To begin this experiment‚ the DNA molecules must be cut into smaller fragments with distinct enzymes called Restriction Enzymes through a process called Restriction Enzyme Digestion. Four microtest tubes were labeled 1 through 4 and added 10 µl of Enzyme Reaction Buffer to each of the four reaction tubes using a micropipette. DNA‚ and Enzyme 1 and 2‚ were then added to the reaction tubes using a new micropipette tip for each transfer of DNA and enzyme (refer to figure

Enzyme Activators and Inhibitors Lucia House AP Biology‚ Block 4 Mr. Trice October 18‚ 2012 Introduction: Metabolism is the totality of all of an organism’s chemical reactions. Chemical reactions occur due to enzymes‚ a substance which acts as a catalyst in driving chemical reactions in order to produce a desired product (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). A catalyst is usually a protein; however‚ some catalytic molecules counter this generalization. A discovery made in the early nineteen- nineties

3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without the surface of the enzyme present. Enzymes achieve this by lowering the

Part B: Practical Report The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim: To investigate how temperature effects the enzyme catalase. Hypothesis: If the temperature of water is increased then the enzyme will react quicker to form oxygen and water‚ when compared to cold water. Purpose: To design and conduct a plan of a practical about the effects of temperature on enzymatic activity with a partner. Introduction: An enzyme is a protein‚ which speeds up a specific chemical reaction without altering

Enzymes Abstract: The following 2 labs experimented the more enzymes and substrates added to the concentration will effect the reaction rate. Our second lab‚ we tested enzyme and substrate concentrations to determine the increase of temperature and inhibitor. The enzyme source used in both labs was peroxide‚ guaiacol is used as a substrate for peroxide. We used Guaiacol‚ turnip extract‚ peroxide and distilled water for enzyme and substrate concentration. In the second lab we used the same substances

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Mouth -the oral cavity or the mouth contains salivary glands that secrete a wide range of enzymes to aid the first step of metabolism of food. The salivary gland secretes the enzyme lysozyme which has an antibacterial action. The enzymes secreted by the mouth mainly provide protection against bacteria. Betaine helps to maintain a fluid balance inside the mouth. The lists of digestive enzymes secreted by the oral cavity are mentioned in the table. Enzymes | Function

of the increase in the enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction. By using self investigative and experimental skills‚ the experiment was done in order to determine how the rate of reaction will be altered‚ whether it will increase‚ decrease or remain constant when the different concentration of enzymes added. INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are produced naturally in plant‚ animal‚ and microbial cell. There are thousands of different enzyme can be found in any cell. Enzymes can be describe as molecules

The Effect of Enzymes on Apple Juice Production Biology Period 6 Background Info The purpose of this experiment was to determine which enzyme or the combination of the two enzymes makes the most apple juice from applesauce. We did his by‚ mixing 10 drops of an enzyme (cellulose/pectinase/both) into a few tablespoons of applesauce. We then left the rest to nature‚ and watched the liquid funnel out for 10 minutes. Lastly‚ we recorded our data. The cell wall is a complicated
