    How does pH affect the activity of the Amylase? Abstract: In my experiment I aimed to observe how ranging pH levels will affect the rate in which amylase will break down the starch molecules. I will be measuring the time it takes for the dark liquid to disappear and leave a yellow brown liquid to be shown‚ which would show that there is no starch present in the solution because it would have broken into maltose by adding amylase. Results did not fully demonstrate what we expected in our hypothesis

    of temperature on fungal amylase and bacterial amylase (Aspergillus oryzae and Bascillus Licheniformis). We used 4 different temperatures in Celsius 0‚ 23‚ 58‚ and 89 for both fungal and amylase. For 10 minutes‚ every 2 minutes we would use 3 drops of each amylase and mix it with iodine to observe the presence of starch at each temperature. We conducted this experiment for both bacterial and fungal amylase. Results were reached based on the color of the iodine and amylase mixture. Colors were classified

    Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh‚ 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al.‚ 2010). Because of this‚ these chemical

    experiment analyzes the effects of how temperature affects bacterial and fungus amylase and also discovers the optimum temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which cannot turn the iodine

    Enzymatic Activity of Salivary Amylase Abstract: Salivary amylase is an enzyme that can digest starch molecules and break them down to sugar molecules. In this experiment‚ the enzymatic activity and specificity of salivary amylase was examined depending on the changes in pH and temperature. In the first part of the experiment‚ the effect of temperature was determined‚ using constant temperature bath (4‚ room temp‚ 37‚ 50‚ 60‚ and 70°C). Having the room temp and 50°C as the highest and 37°C as infinite

    The enzyme that involved in the reaction is salivary amylase. The action of amylase on starch is with the mixture of IKI (iodine and potassium iodide test).Starch solution will have a blue-black colour in the mixture but no changes in colour for maltose solution. When hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the starch solution‚ the color will

    Correlation between the chemical activity of Amylase and change in temperature ABSTRACT This experiment focuses on how the change of temperature affects the rate of reaction of amylase. In the experiment there were four different environments that each contained 2 test tubes. Each test tube consisted of the same concentration and amount of starch and amylase. After having each test tube placed in these environments for several minutes a droplets of each mixture was placed onto each slot which

    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
