The role of protein in hormone enzyme functions Proteins are very important particles in our cells. Proteins are included in basically all bodily cell functions‚ including cellular regeneration and repair‚ tissue maintenance and regulation‚ hormone and enzyme production (James‚ C.S. Delores). They vary in structure as well as function. Talking about hormone and enzyme production‚ it is important to understand that amino acids are the basic components of hormones‚ which are critical chemical

Jolly Nguyen 11C Conditions needed for effective enzyme action Aim: To investigate the activity of enzymes and how might the activity be effected in different conditions. Hypothesis: Temperature rises and change of substrate concentration may cause denaturation of the protein of enzymes. So as the temperature rises the amount of active enzyme progressively decreases‚ and the rate is slowed. Exposure to heat causes atoms to vibrate violently and this disrupts bonds within globular proteins

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Krupa Desai Cell Biology April 3‚ 2013 Lab: Biosynthesis of Starch Introduction: In this lab we learned the concept and procedure of synthesizing starch. We also learned the effects of pH and temperature on the reaction rates of amylase.. In the process of the synthesis lab we learned phosphorylation using a potato‚ which was what we synthesized. The phosphorylation took place after the addition of primer. There are two different types of starches used are amylose and amylopectin. To test

Cheese lab Introduction Scientists work to create new and improved versions of cheese-curdling enzymes‚ as well as to improve the yields and qualities of cheeses. Modern-day cheese makers want to produce large amounts of high-quality cheese in the most economical way. Purpose ▪ Determine which curdling agent produces cheese the fastest. ▪ Determine which curdling agent produces the most cheese. ▪ Examine numerical data to support predictions. ▪ Examine variables that can

Observing Enzyme Activity Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to test whether the pH affected the enzyme reaction rate. Hypothesis: If the enzyme is in a basic solution‚ then it will react faster because the enzyme (catalase) reacts better in basic solutions. Materials: 10 potato cubes (1 cm3) -Pipet Baking soda solution -50 ml glass beaker Bleach Water Lemon juice Vinegar 5 glass test tubes Drying rack Timer Graduated cylinder Hydrogen peroxide Procedure:

Roy Levin Bio 11 Lab Dr.Izquierdo Analysis of Macromolecules in Tissue Homogenates of Bos taurusMaterials and Methods The homogenates provided were made by homogenizing tissues in a sucrose phosphate buffer in a 1:20 ratio. The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4‚ 0.8‚ 1.2‚ 1.6‚ 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to

glucose. Even if oxygen is there or not‚ enzymes are mediated in the cytoplasm. The electron transport chain‚ chemiosmosis‚ and aerobic respiration use NADH molecule (which it main purpose is to transport electrons form one molecule to another) for later purposes. The mitochondrial matrix receives pyruvate from the cytoplasm after it crosses over the mitochondrial membrane. When the pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle it goes through many stages of biochemical enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In more detail

withstand abnormal changes in pH without denaturing itself. Salivary Amylase is an enzyme that acts upon any polysaccharide that enters the mouth (mainly starch). However‚ it has a few other clinical uses. It is used for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis‚ an inflammation of the pancreas‚ and other medical conditions regarding Amylase levels in the body. Amylase’s first discovery in 1831 led to new experiments about this enzyme. By separating pancreatic Amylase from Trypsin‚ they were able to realize that
