Purpose: Restriction enzymes cut DNA at a certain palindromic sequence. Three samples of lamda DNA set up to be cut with restriction enzymes PstI‚ EcoRI‚ or HindDIII. There were also two more samples‚ one of these samples was not mixed with any restriction enzyme and the other was a marker‚ which used an enzyme which creates fragments with a known number of base pairs used to create a standard curve. All five samples were put through agarose gel electrophoresis in order to estimate the amount of

INTRODUCTION Enzymes are a protein serving as a catalyst‚ a chemical agent that changes the rate of the reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes are proteins made up of long chains of amino acids. These form complex shapes. The enzymes are individuals‚ like the different players on a ball team‚ they have different specific structures and jobs. As one ball player may be very tall and one short‚ the specific different shape of the active site on an enzyme is unique and prepares it

Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe‚ M 2002‚ p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed‚ the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place. Enzymes can either catabolize

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to measure the extent of enzyme reaction on given substrates by means of color change. The reaction followed is given below: Tyrosinase³ Enzyme Pyrocatechol Hydroxyquinone Oxidation/Reduction Pink ³ Brown E+S + [ES] = E+P Enzyme Reaction Hypothesis: If there is an increase in enzyme concentration‚ an increase in reaction temperature‚ or an increase in buffer pH‚ then greater

Biology‚ Section G 27 September 2013 Experiment 5.3 Title: The Fragility of an Enzyme Purpose: To see how easily enzyme function can be destroyed. Hypothesis: I think that the bowl with only Jell-O will set as will the bowl with heated pineapple but the Jell-O with fresh‚ uncooked pineapple will not set. Materials: Part of a fresh pineapple A blender or a fine cheese grater 3 small bowls A small box of Jell-O Pot Stove Refrigerator 2 tablespoons Procedure: 1. Cut the pineapple

Sarah Clay Internal Assessment Design Question: Does the caffeine in Coca-Cola affect blood pressure? Hypothesis: The amount of caffeine in Coca-Cola will cause to the adrenal glands‚ located on the top of the kidneys‚ to release more adrenaline which will in turn cause an increase in blood pressure. As the amount of Coca-Cola decreases‚ so will the difference between initial blood pressure and blood pressure after the consumption of the caffeine. Variables: Independent Variables | Dependent

pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase. When a serial dilution was

Enzymes are organic catalysts; where a substance speeds up the rate of chemical reactions without changing being changed by the reactions. In lab they tested this by seeing how H2O2 and the catalysts from the banana and liver react to make H2O+O2. Depending on different conditions; like decomposition of H2O2 (surface area)‚ temperature on function‚ reusing the catalase‚ reaction rate of iced liver returned to room temperature‚ and effects of pH on enzyme activity‚ to see how much O2 was released

Enzyme Controlled Reactions 1) Describe the relationship between substrate concentration and the initial reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Is this a linear relationship? What happens to the initial reaction rate as substrate concentration increases? A) The relationship between the substrate concentration and the initial reaction of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is very productive‚ but is dramatically affected by the pH level of the given solution. The most productive pH level is
