Sang Kim Enzyme Catalyst Purpose/Problem: There are four parts to the Enzyme Catalyst lab - Activity A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. In activity A‚ the characteristics of enzyme actions will be observed. The main purposes are to determine the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ to study the characteristics of an enzyme mediated reaction‚ and to observe the effect of heat on enzyme activity. The purpose of activity B is to use the Titration Protocol to determine the initial amount of H 2O2 present

Procedures for Part A: For Activity A‚ we first tested enzyme activity. First‚ we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then‚ we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that‚ we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that‚ we placed the test tube filled

I. Objective The first objective of the measurement of thermal conductivity & one-dimensional heat conduction experiment was to identify three different metal specimens by comparing their experimentally determined thermal conductivities to known thermal conductivity values of existing metals. The second objective of the experiment was to establish a connection between the thermal conductivities & temperatures of the metal specimens. Thirdly‚ the contact resistance of the interfaces between

The Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Activity The pancreatic duct in individuals who have cystic fibrosis frequently becomes blocked‚ reducing or preventing the release of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. The aim of this activity is to investigate the effect of a reduction in enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction‚ in this case the breakdown of protein by protease enzymes. Aim – Milk powder contains a white protein called casein. A white suspension of

SCIENCE EXPERIMENT REPORT AIM : To show the percentage of oxygen in air. HYPOTHESIS : The percentage of oxygen in air is about 20%. APPARATUS AND MATERIALS : Glass trough‚ gas jar stand‚ metre ruler‚ candle‚ marker pen‚ matches‚ plasticine. Figure 1 VARIABLE : i. kept constant : the size of the candle ii. manipulated : the amount of oxygen inside the gas jar iii. responds : the level of water in the gas jar PROCEDURES : 1. Use some plasticine to fix a

“Cell Transport Lab” Hypothesis: I hypothesis that there will be a movement of molecules out of the egg‚ and will move into the water solution. Osmosis will occur within the egg‚ and in the process the molecules of the egg will diffuse. Time (hrs) | Observations | Circumference (cm) | * 0 | * Egg is of normal weight and size * No membrane is being shown‚ and is almost perfect | * 14 centimeters | * 24 | * Egg has gotten larger taking in some of the water * Shell is soft

The Elvis Experiment Introduction: In this experiment we will determine how the difference in length and diameter of a blood vessel have an effect on the resistance of blood flow and how the viscosity of blood will also effect the resistance of blood flow in a blood vessel. Observation: My mom is a big Elvis fan and she always wondered how his health affected his death. Knowing that he had high cholesterol and high blood pressure I decided to do an experiment on what factors may have had an effect

May 1‚ 2013 Enzymes as Drug Targets Enzymes are defined as any of numerous proteins produced in living cells that accelerate or catalyze the metabolic processes of an organism. Enzymes are usually very selective in the molecules that they act upon‚ called substrates‚ often reacting with only a single substrate. The substrate binds to the enzyme at a location called the active site just before the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme takes place. Enzymes can speed up chemical reactions by up to

Enzyme kinetics (catalase/kmno4) Enzyme catalysis Farah Mohamed galal 22-3014 t09 Introduction: E + S → ES → E + P Enzymes are proteins which act as a catalyst in biochemical reactions(affect the rate of achemical reaction). The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. Any deformation of the active site will affect the activity of the enzyme‚ these are some ways that enzyme action may be affected because of them: 1- Salt concentration: If it is close to zero or very high

Enzyme Lab Daniyal Abdali (Rachel Lee) (Sarina Dolch) SBI 3UI Mr. Vrabec October 20‚ 2009 Test #1 * Add a small piece of cracker in test tube #1 and add Lugol’s solution. Observation #1 * The cracker turned a black colour when the Lugol’s solution was added to it. This was a positive result‚ meaning that the cracker contains starch. Test #2 * Add a bigger piece of cracker in test tube #2‚ add 5 mL of Benedict’s solution‚ place in a boiling water bath‚ and record observations
