    Finding the Optimal pH of the Enzyme Peroxidase with the Aid of a Spectrophotometer ABSTRACT The peroxidase enzyme was partially purified‚ and the enzyme activity was calculated with the use of a spectrophotometer‚ demonstrating the effect of pH on peroxidase activity. The objective of this exercise was to determine the ideal pH for peroxidase activity. The data concluded that the optimum pH for peroxidase activity is 5‚ and the “standardized” enzyme volume is 2.8mL

    are found in and out of cells and lower the activation energy of a reaction. Amylase is the enzyme which catalyses starch hydrolysis. Alpha amylase and beta amylase are two types of amylase enzymes. The amylase which is the most commonly found in the human body is the alpha amylase. Beta amylase is mainly found in bacteria‚ fungi and plants. Amylase breakdown starch into maltose. During the process of hydrolysis‚ Amylase degrades starch by splitting the long glucose units into smaller intermediates

    The Effect of Temperature on Animal and Fungal Amylase’s Ability to Breakdown Starch. Abstract This experiment was designed to test the reaction of the enzyme amylase at various temperatures. There were two different kinds of amylase being tested‚ one was fungal amylase also known as aspergillus oryzae and human amylase. The changes in temperature effect the rate at which an enzyme and a substrate collide. When the temperature is too high the active site changes shape or denatures‚ once this

    PH level of Amylase Background info: What is Amylase? Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced in the pancreas and the salivary glands. (Dugdale & Longstreth‚ 2011) Factors Affecting Amylase: Things that affect the efficiency of Amylase are temperature and pH levels. (Wikimedia Foundation‚ Inc‚ 2013) Function in the body: The function of Amylase in the human body is to break down plant-based starch sources. Therefore‚ providing the human body with more

    conducted to determine the optimal temperature for bacterial and fungal Amylases and evaluate how temperature affects the catabolic rate of enzymes. Enzyme reaction rate was measured using an Iodine test in which drops of starch solution with either fungal or bacterial Amylase exposed to different temperatures were mixed with Iodine. Iodine is a dark blue color in the presence of starch and turns light yellow in its absence. Bacterial Amylase had an optimal temperature of 55°C‚ meaning that starch

    The Rate of Reaction that Enzyme Concentration‚ pH‚ and Temperatures Have on the Amylase Enzymes Color Disappearance Abstract: Compare reaction rates of the concentrations‚ pH’s‚ and temperatures of the enzyme Amylase. At what concentrates do the substrate molecules collide with each other‚ making the reaction possible? At what pH levels do the 3D molecular structures change breaking the H-bond and/or denaturize? At what temperatures do the collisions of the substrate molecules happen

    Manila Philippines Abstract Salivary amylase‚ found in humans‚ is enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simpler compounds. Its enzymatic activity is affected by several factors‚ such as temperature and pH. The rates of enzymatic activity of salivary amylase in different temperatures and pH were measured and resulted to be very near 50 C and 7 respectively. However‚ due to some errors that were committed‚ the expected optimum temperature was not achieved. Introduction Of all biomolecules

    Effect of different temperatures on amylase activity. Literature review This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu‚ 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually

    1 The Limits of Amylase 2-1-14 Abstract This report explains the purpose of this experiment in a way that conveys information to the reader about Amylase’s ability to withstand acidic or basic pH. To do this‚ two test tubes were both filled with 5mL of a 5% amylase solution. The first one was filled with an acid‚ while the other was filled with a base. After dropping liquid Iodine and Benedict’s solution into each one‚ the tube with a basic pH tested positive for glucose. The acidic solution

    Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effects of changes in temperatures and pH on enzyme activity in skeletal muscle‚ particularly the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is a glycolytic enzyme which converts pyruvate to lactate in the following equation: LDH Pyruvate+ NADH ------------ Lactate + NAD The reaction above can move in both directions‚
