Effect of Varying Temperatures: The enzyme catalyzed reaction rate during varying incubation temperatures are plotted on Figure. 6. As the temperature increases the rate increases‚ but as the temperature reaches 49oC it begins to drop. When the plot of the logarithm of the rate is used against the inverse of the temperature kelvin’s the Arrhenius equation is used to calculate the activation energy. The range in orange is between 16.5 - 37oC and the activation energy is calculated to be 9332kcal/mol

the reaction of butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ so we of course used the hydrobromic acid as our acid catalyst

Nicoleta Nedelcu Caffeine-induced effects on heart rate in zebrafish embryos and possible mechanisms of action Observation Caffeine is found in coffee‚ tea leaves‚ cocoa beans‚ and kola nuts. It is used in prescription and over the counter drugs. It increases blood pressure‚ mental alertness‚ and gastrointestinal motility. Cardiovascular development with caffeine and other small molecules can be studied relatively easy using zebrafish. The cardiovascular system is complete in two days after fertilization

Abstract Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the reactants’ activation energy. The goal of this lab was conducted to determine the optimal temperature for bacterial and fungal Amylases and evaluate how temperature affects the catabolic rate of enzymes. Enzyme reaction rate was measured using an Iodine test in which drops of starch solution with either fungal or bacterial Amylase exposed to different temperatures were mixed with Iodine. Iodine

Abstract We performed two trials of nine different variables of reactions to determine what increases/decreases reaction rates. The variables we used are hot/cold and room temperature water‚ a equal mixture of HCL and water‚ A equal mixture of NaOH and water‚ either a whole‚ broken‚ or finely crushed Alka-seltzer tablet. The fastest rate average was at 0.04 s (finely crushed Alka-seltzer with room temp. water). The slowest rate average is 8.02 s (Alka-seltzer with cold water). Introduction

Determination of Rate and Order of a Reaction Results This experiment used a spectrometer to find the wavelength with maximum absorbance in a green food coloring solution. For this particular solution the wavelength was 629.7 nm. The system was then calibrated to that and was set to measure the food coloring and bleach solution. The measured visible light absorbance of the mixed solution was collected over a time of 200 seconds and eight points were then selected and placed into the Absorbance

for fast reactions that keep you alive‚ break down large molecules into smaller molecules and use small molecules to build large complex molecules like the enzymes that make DNA and enzymes also help cells to communicate with each other. I have decided to use not one but two enzymes to observe what happens to the different kind of enzymes when introduced to different PH (power of hydrogen) scales. the best way to test this was to put the enzyme bromelain in gelatine because bromelain affects gelatine

Effect of Temperature on Peroxidase Ability to Break Down H2O2 By: Rodneika Crutcher Abstract Temperature affects the ability of peroxidase to break down hydrogen peroxide. In this experiment our professor extracted peroxidase from potato tissue. In order to determine how temperature affects peroxidase we created solutions and measured their absorbance levels after water bath treatments. The more absorbent the solution was the less hydrogen peroxide there was in the solution. This means the peroxidase
