the effects of temperature on the enzyme activity was that the reaction’s rate would increase as the temperature increased‚ until they go over the optimum temperature where the enzymes denature and the reaction’s rate quickly drops to zero. At 5 degree C the rate is 0.00059mole PNP/min. This then increases to 0.01031mmoles PNP/min at a temperature of 50 degree C. The rate then drops drastically to -0.00215moles PNP/min. This point is where the enzymes have been denatured and have no activity‚ shown

inside of the amylose coil.The amount of blue complex that starch gives with iodine can be measured by using a spectrophotometer. α-amylases are found in saliva‚ pancreatic juice‚ human breast milk‚ serum and certain tissues such as the liver. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of α (1-4) linkages in starch by breaking it down to maltose and some glucose. As the starch is broken down‚ the coiled structure of α-amylase is unfolded. Therefore‚ iodine will no longer be able to form the blue complex

that the enzyme concentration will affect the rate of reaction but only up until a certain point because there is a limited supply of substrate. Enzymes are protein molecule that acts as biological catalyst by increasing the rate of reactions without changing the overall process. They are long chain amino acids bound together by peptide bonds. Enzymes are seen in all living cells and controlling the metabolic processes in which they converted nutrients into energy and new cells. Enzymes also help

A1. Role of Enzymes in Processes Enzymes are organic catalysts that help to speed up the breakdown of a molecule‚ such as fructose. The enzyme helps a chemical reaction take place quickly so that the reaction happens properly. In order for that to happen the enzymes process by the lock and key model‚ the lock is the substrate and the enzyme is the key. The active sites are specific to a certain substrate of a molecule‚ so the enzymes only have one job to do. The shape of an enzyme is not changed

An investigation into the effects of sugar concentration on yeast activity Introduction: Yeasts are eukaryotic micro organisms belonging to the kingdom fungi. Yeasts live on sugars and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products. [James Mallory‚ 1984]When Yeasts are given water and sucrose they convert the sucrose into glucose then convert the glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol following the following reaction: C₆H₁₂O₆ ( 2(C₂H₅OH + CO₂ [Brady Burkhart‚ Terrell Grayson and Eric Kimler

Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ large protein proteins that have a very specific three-dimensional shape which makes them highly specific and only work on one or a few similar chemical reactions. Enzymes themselves are not consumed in the reaction‚ but they help attract substrates into correct position to undergo chemical reaction. Enzymes greatly speed up the rate of biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation. To get a sense of the speed and efficiency of enzymes‚ substrates can

Matthew Saldanha Bio DCP lab-Catalase experiment Aim: To investigate enzyme kinetics‚ using different concentration of the enzyme. Hypothesis: The assay system used in the lab consists of a filter paper disc coated with the enzyme and the dropped into a papercup of substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide). As the hydrogen breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and oxygen gas‚ the bubbles of oxygen gas collect underneath the filter and make it

In this lab we tested the effect of temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the difference absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for about 2 minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low numbers for the absorbance‚ which gave us a lower
