1. A) I would expect the active site of nylonase to consist mainly of polar amino acids with a few nonpolar amino acids as well because the substrate for nylonase is polar overall‚ but has many nonpolar bonds. What makes me think that the nylonase enzyme is polar is that the substrate that would bind to the active site of nylonase has extreme polarity between carbon and oxygen‚ and between hydrogen and nitrogen due to their differences in electronegativity’s‚ but it still has the nonpolar bonds between

September 10th‚ 2013 EXPERIMENT 1 LEARNING BASIC OPERATIONS: THE EFFECT OF PH ON A FOOD PRESERVATIVE Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate a competitor’s claim that the food preservative‚ sodium benzoate (C6H5COONa)‚ made by Fresh Foods International (FFI)‚ changed into a new substance in stomach acid. Stomach acid has a pH between 1 and 3 due to the hydrochloric acid content. Based on the net equation given in the book as well as the solubility of the product our hypothesis

Functionality At Various Ph Level Abstract Enzymes can be denatured at various ph levels in which then affects the shape of the enzymes structure and reactivity. The altering of shape causes substrates to not bind in the active site (Scott Freeman‚ Micheal Harrington‚ Joan. C Sharp‚ 2009). Amylase is used as a catalytic enzyme to determine the time period to convert starch into glucose monomers and transport into the bloodstream at different ph levels. Methods involved

Abstract The main goal of the enzyme kinetics experiment was to see how the phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl produced p-nitrophenol in the presence of phosphate and fluoride ion inhibitors of various concentrations. The calculated Km constant was found to be 0.22 for all reactions. The Vmax values for each inhibition ion were 0.00986 for the phosphate ion and 0.00436 for the fluoride ion. The inhibitor constant‚ Ki‚ was determined to be 0.0967 for the phosphate ion. The inhibitor

for lipids‚ if in fact a lipid is present‚ the reaction would produce a red/orange color as opposed to no change at all (negative reaction: Stays pink color). This solution of Sudan IV is soluble in lipids‚ but not in water. Benedict’s solution is the test used for reducing sugars or glucose testing. The positive reaction for this test should show a red/brick color after being placed in boiling water for three minutes‚ but if a negative reaction occurs we will get blue color or no change at all

Title Experiment 17 Reaction Kinetics- Determination of the Activation Energy of the Reaction Between Oxalic Acid and Potassium Permanganate. Objective To determine the activation energy of the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate. Theory and Background Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport. In terms of the transition-state
