    Enzymes are catalytic proteins. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up metabolic reactions by lowering the free energy of activation or activation energy. Activation energy is known as the amount of energy needed to push the reactants over an energy barrier, so that the downhill part of the reaction can begin (Campbell 151). In an enzyme catalyzed reaction, the enzyme binds to its substrate, which is the reactant an enzyme acts on. In the reactions, the enzymes are very specific, where only a restricted region of the enzyme molecule binds to the substrate. This region is known as the active site (Campbell 152). The specificity of an enzyme results from its shape; the shape is form by the amino acid sequence since enzymes are proteins. If the shape of the substrate fits the shape of the active site, the enzyme will alters its shape so the active site embraces the substrate and maintains a firm grip, known as induced fit. This allows for great variations of enzymes.…

    The extent at which environmental factors affect the rate of catalase activity was discovered in this lab. The assay system, in which a filter paper disc was dipped into the enzyme and submerged using a stirring rod in a test tube filled with 20mL of hydrogen peroxide, was used to test several enzyme factors. As the saturation of hydrogen peroxide increased the rate of reaction increased as well. When the enzyme concentration increased the rate of catalase activity increased too. When catalase was subjected to an increase of temperature changes, the rate of reaction increased. Once the protein denatured around 100ºC the catalase activity decreased. Catalase operated with a high efficiency when the pH of the enzyme was 7. As the catalase pH was altered to acidic or basic, the rate of reaction decreased.…
