toxic shock. This Toxic Shock Syndrome is due to Staphlyococcus aureus‚ characterized by “erythematous eruption and high fever”. An important cytokine molecule‚ TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha)‚ is secreted amongst these cytokines and plays a vital role in the inflammatory response of the body. An over secretion of TNF-alpha may result “endothelial and vascular smooth muscle changes‚ which manifests as hypotension‚ shock‚ and features of sepsis.” An example of a bacterium that elicits a superantigen

COPD Respiratory disease paper Jean Izean HCS/245 May 25‚ 2015 Tynan Mara There are various forms of respiratory disease that not only debilitate‚ but claim the lives of millions of Americans each year. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease‚ Tuberculosis‚ Lung cancer‚ Asthma‚ emphysema‚ and bronchitis are just a few of the common respiratory infections that disrupt the functions of organs and tissues responsible for providing oxygen to the body. In this paper I will discuss Chronic obstructive

Reaction Rates of Barley Alpha Amylase with Starch at Specific pH ’s and Temperatures Page 1 Abstract Enzyme ’s are used as catalysts in certain reactions. They help lower the activation energy needed for the reaction to go to completion. At optimum temperature and pH the amount of collisions of substrate and enzyme is at its highest‚ any deviation from the optimum temperature and pH will result in the denaturization of the enzyme. The purpose of this experiment is to find the optimum

reactions but they themselves are not consumed or altered when doing so. These catalysts work best at optimum temperatures and pH’s. The temperature and pH at which the reaction occurs the quickest is the ideal condition for the enzymatic reaction. Alpha amylase converts starch into glucose and when starch is combined with I2KI indicator a dark purple solution forms. As the enzyme breaks down the starch the absorbency will decrease. The absorbency is measured through the spectrophotometer which reads

Enzyme Specificity Using Beta-galactosidase and Alpha-galactosidase Introduction: In order to survive‚ organisms need reactions to occur at a certain time and place. Enzymes make these reactions happen. Enzymes are highly specific causing only one enzyme to catalyze one reaction. “Induced fit” explains why enzymes act this certain way. An enzyme will surround a certain substrate and form to it for the reaction to occur in the active site. If it doesn’t form to it‚ the reaction will not occur
