Solutions of starch and amylase were held at selected temperatures by various methods of temperature control. Once the solutions reached and maintained the desired temperature they were combined.

Alpha amylase is an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of starch and glycogen to form glucose and maltose through the hydrolyses of alpha linked polysaccharides1. Starch is a complex carbon and is the main energy storage material found in plants and some bacteria. It is a major component of food as it supplies plants with energy and carbon. Starch consists of two types of polysaccharides called amylose and amylopectin1.The properties of starch can depend on the number of alpha 1‚4 glycosidic bonds

If the amylase successfully digests the starch‚ what results would you expect? If the amylase successfully digests the starch‚ I would expect a no color change occur as well as a presence of glucose in the intestine (Dialysis tubing). If the amylase only partly digests the starch‚ what would you expect to happen? If the amylase only partly digests the starch‚ I would expect to see a faint color change as well as a small presence of glucose inside the intestine. If the amylase fails to

collected. However‚ by working hard and forming realistic hypothesis‚ we were able to find the correct data. Introduction The chemical reaction that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch and the enzyme that is being studied is amylase. Amylase is found in the saliva. This experiment is looking at the various effects on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Enzymes are biological catalysts that carry out thousands of chemical reactions that occur in living cells. Generally

Enzymes are globular proteins that are synthesized by the ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed

Finding the optimal temperature for amylase Bacteria and Fungi with the presence of starch is the purpose of this experiment. Optimal conditions are known as conditions in which organism are able to thrive in‚ where it is able to function at its best. If an organism was to surpass its optimal temperature‚ the denaturing of the active site occurs‚ which means that it changes form‚ which in turn prevents the binding of substrates. For this experiment‚ amylase is an enzyme‚ which starch and glycogen

so it can hold onto the substrate. Next the substrate is changed to its product‚ the product is released and the enzymes active site is ready and waiting for another molecule of substrate. Amylase is an enzyme in human saliva and in other organisms and its substrate is starch. When the active site of amylase binds with the starch‚ hydrolysis takes place. When the hydrolysis (the breaking of a chemical bond with the insertion of the ions of a water molecule) of starch is complete you are left with
