many “chainobeads” was your enzyme able to make per minute in the 0 – 15 second interval? Our enzyme was able to make 6 chainobeads in the 0-15 interval. 2. How many “chainobeads” was your enzyme able to make per minute in the 60 – 120 second interval? Our enzyme was able to make 49 chainobeads in the 60-120 intervals. 3. Did your enzyme’s rate change over time? How does this compare to a real enzyme? The enzyme’s rate did change over time. This compares to a real enzyme because an enzyme’s job is

DESIGN - BIOLOGY Bromelain Name: Jaroslava Baranová Candidate number: 000771- Examination session: May 2012 Date of elaboration: 2.2.2011 Research question: What is the effect of enzyme bromelain contained in pineapple on the process of gelatinization of gelatine? Hypothesis: Enzymes are proteins that speed up or catalyze chemical reactions. Gelatine consists of gelatin(84-90%)‚mineral salts(1-2%) and water‚ and is free of fat cholesterol. Gelatin is a protein produced by partial

Effects of Changes in Physical Properties on Enzyme Activity By Alex Hoffmann First Individual Lab Report Wednesday 7:30-10:15pm 10/24/12 Meghan Duell Abstract The goal of this lab was to determine the effects of certain physical properties on enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was measured by the height of the bubbles that appeared after the enzyme was added which are proportional to the rate of the reaction when time is constant. The fact that enzyme activity is affected by physical properties

For this lab it was necessary to bring a watch with a second hand‚ as well as personal protective gear: lab coat‚ safety goggles‚ and safety gloves. It was best to work in pairs and one partner needed to be a timekeeper while the other one would record the data. The timekeeper then would announce every 5 second interval‚ beginning from when the enzyme was added to the tube. On the other hand‚ the recorder would read and record the absorbance from the spectrometer at the 5 second intervals. This was

Abstract The enzyme peroxidase has been shown to break down H2O2. Enzymes are known to increase the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs. We looked at factors that affected the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. These effects are the different temperatures and pH levels the enzymes were placed in. We found that the optimum‚ or best condition‚ temperature for the enzymes tested was about 22 degrees Celsius. The optimum pH level for the enzyme was 7. Introduction Enzymes are biochemical that catalyze

Enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions organisms‚ allowing cells to break or build things instantly. The structure of an enzyme is essential to its function. Enzymes are proteins‚ made up of 100-1000 amino acids bonded together in chains. These chains are folded/coiled into a unique 3-D structure that allows them to bind to a reactant‚ called a substrate at an active site. Enzymes are flexible‚ and therefore can change it’s shape to better accommodate its substrate; this

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Amylase is a very important enzyme located in the saliva and pancreatic juices that hydrolyses (break down) starch and glycogen into more simple and readily digestible forms of sugar. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of biological reactions. Enzymes are produced in living cells and are involved in speeding up biochemical reactions. They have an active site to which specific substrate binds. They increase the rate of reactions by decreasing the amount of activation energy meaning

Question One Description on what junket contains and how it works. “The dessert named junket is made by adding the enzyme Rennin to lukewarm milk. Rennin. also known as Chymosin or in its commercial form as Rennet‚ is found in the fourth stomach of cud-chewing animals‚ and is to be found in particularly high quantities in the fourth stomach of suckling calves. The enzyme curdles the milk by transforming caseinogen into

Name: Fabiola Gonzales ID#: 810004692 Lab Partner: Onecia Alexander Date: Friday 23rd October 2015 Theory: Arginase is an enzyme with the E.C. number 3.5.3.1 (Worthington 2015). This details it as a hydrolase enzyme that catalyses the cleavage of bonds through the addition of water. For this experiment‚ we pay close attention to the reaction where arginase catalyses the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. This reaction is a part of the urea cycle and occurs in mammalian livers and sometimes
