____________________ Immobilizing an enzyme provides various analytical benefits‚ and can be done in a myriad of ways‚ with the most common being entrapment. For this study peroxidase (from horseradish)‚ an enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of hydrogen peroxide into water‚ was entrapped within a polyacrylamide gel matrix. The gel matrix was formed by the addition of methylene bis-acrylamide (a cross linking agent) to acrylamide. The immobilized enzyme was then tested via spectrophotometric assay

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that enable chemical reactions. In the enzyme lab‚ the effects of concentration‚ temperature and pH on the functionality of the enzyme catalase. The enzyme lab was also about measuring reactions by capturing the oxygen that was generated by the reaction. Materials and Methods: Experiment 1‚ 2‚ & 3 Experiment 1 examined the effects of concentration on catalase activity. Experiment 2 examined the effects of concentration in temperature

this article‚ we will experiment on the significant in strength of the enzyme by using three different test tubes and measuring the amount of product they give off. To determine this we are going to test the amount of color absorbance by using a special tool to help us understand our results. We will see how our end results show the effect of the amount of concentration we apply to each test tube. The results would be shown by the support of two graphs. Introduction: Enzymes are highly important

Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration

potential of a potato Aim Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration to a low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Our aim is to investigate the water potential of a potato through osmosis‚ by finding the difference in weight before and after the potato has been set in a solution of water‚ sugar or salt. Trial Method Firstly we collected the equipment. This included a scalpel‚ potato cutter‚ and test tubes. Then we cut the potato using the

reaction. Life would not exist without the presence of enzymes (Phillips‚ 2017). Through chemical reactions‚ this energy is created and is controlled by a catalyst‚ enzymes. Enzymes are known as proteins that are produced in living cells that speed up the metabolic processes of an organism. These catalysts speed up these reactions by decreasing the activation energy‚ how much energy is needed for a chemical reaction to happen (WBC‚ 2015). An enzyme-substrate complex forms when a substrate attaches to

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

Most of enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions by lowering amount of activation energy needed for the reaction1. Enzymes are usually highly selective‚ only bind to specific substrate and convert it to product at a particular rate1. The rate of the reaction

Varibles that affect Enzyme Catalysis Reaction Rates Introduction Molecules are constantly moving in our bodies and in nature. When molecules move fast enough they collide into one another‚ allowing chemical reactions to occur. Factors such as temperature and concentrations can either help increase or decrease these reactions. (Jubenville.) Enzymes are known as catalyst because they are able to speed up reaction rates without being destroyed or altered. They are able to encourage chemical reactions
