    Abstract The researcher is conducting this experiment to find the optimum temperature and pH for starch on amylase. The experiment was carried out in one day. The researcher and a partner did the experiment based on a lab manuel from class. Data was collected from the experiment and to be displayed on graphs. Then the optimum pH and temperatures were to be calculated based on the findings. The hypothesis was disproved due to the optimum pH of 5 but the other findings supported the hypothesis of

    Identification of unknown a-Amylase through testing different temperatures and pH values to detect the absorbance of maltose. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ mainly proteins for this experiment‚ generated by an organism to speed up chemical reactions. They have active sites on which the substrate is attached‚ and then broken up or joined. For this experiment we are going to work with the enzyme a-amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human

    Rate of Reaction that Enzyme Concentration‚ pH‚ and Temperatures Have on the Amylase Enzymes Color Disappearance Abstract: Compare reaction rates of the concentrations‚ pH’s‚ and temperatures of the enzyme Amylase. At what concentrates do the substrate molecules collide with each other‚ making the reaction possible? At what pH levels do the 3D molecular structures change breaking the H-bond and/or denaturize? At what temperatures do the collisions of the substrate molecules happen? Proteins

    Hydrolysis of macromolecules Abstract: This lab was designed to teach the process of “hydrolysis”‚ a chemical reaction in which water is added to a polymer‚ breaking its bonds and forming smaller molecules. A hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion (which once formed water) break apart and attach themselves to the ends of shorter polymers. Hydrolysis plays an important role in our lives and in the lives of every living thing on earth. Living organisms rely on digestion (hydrolysis) to convert

    Effect of different temperatures on amylase activity. Literature review This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu‚ 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually

    Introduction: This experiment was used to examine the hypothesis that: Osmosis is dependent on the concentrations of the substances involved. Diffusion is the passage of solute molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Campbell & Reece‚ 2005). An example is ammonia diffusing throughout a room. A solute is one of two components in a chemical solution. The solute is the substance dissolved in the solution. The solvent‚ the other component‚ is any liquid in

    known as the active site. The nature and arrangement of amino acids in the active site make it specific for only one type of substrate. Enzymes catalyze an unfathomable number of reactions by using a combination of only six basic mechanisms: (1) acid-base catalysis; (2) covalent catalysis; (3) metal ion catalysis; (4) electrostatic catalysis; (5) proximity and orientation effects; and (6) preferential binding of the transition state complex. Independent of the mechanistic characteristics taken to generate

    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 with the α-amylase. It can be assumed that the decrease in color (absorbance)

    The Effect and Rate of the Enzyme Amylase on Starch Abstract Assessing reaction speed of the enzyme amylase can be measured by the amount of glucose and maltose produced during given time intervals. I hypothesized that‚ if the reaction time is longer‚ then the amount of amylase will be larger. Enzymes are specific in their match of substrates they will breakdown – similar to a key and its lock. Since amylase is the only enzyme that breaks down starch‚ the procedure was effective and gave clear
