reactions function without the help of an enzyme. These enzymes can range anywhere from 62 amino acid residues to 2‚500‚ making them extremely specialized for each reaction. Despite their size only around 3-4 amino acids are directly involved in the catalysis. The molecules that are acted on by the enzymes are called substrates. These substances are changed by the enzymes to facilitate the reaction without permanently changing the structure of the enzyme. As with all catalysts‚ it does this by lowering

Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for

PREPARATION OF ALUMINA POWDERS 1. BAYERS PROCESS INTRODUCTION The Bayer Process was invented and patented in 1887 by Austrian scientist Karl Josef Bayer. Two to three tonnes of bauxite are required to produce one tonne of alumina. 90% of the global alumina supply of around 90 million tonnes is used in aluminium production. DEFINITION The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). The aluminium oxide must be purified before it

Task 1 • Describe the structure of an enzyme as a protein‚ in terms of tertiary/ quaternary structures. 1) Primary Structure This is in reference to the order of way that amino acids are connected to form a protein. These are built up from 20 amino acids‚ and follow these structures o A carbon (the alpha carbon) bonded to the four groups below: o A hydrogen atom (H) o A Carboxyl group (-COOH) o An Amino group (-NH2) o A "variable" group or "R" group 2) Secondary Structure This is in reference

An Introduction to the Structural Analysis of Narrative* Roland Barthes T HERE ARE COUNTLESS FORMS of narrative in the world. First of all‚ there is a prodigious variety of genres‚ each of which branches out into a variety of media‚ as if all substances could be relied upon to accommodate man’s stories. Among the vehicles of narrative are articulated language‚ whether oral or written‚ pictures‚ still or moving‚ gestures‚ and an ordered mixture of all those substances; narrative is present in myth

THE CHANGING PARADIGMS OF THE LOVE LAWS The Joys of Motherhood‚ by Buchi Emecheta‚ describes the hardships of life in West-Africa from the perspective of Nnu Ego. The novel reveals the byproducts of development and colonialism in West-Africa; byproducts that affect society’s hierarchy of gender and subservience. Through the Englishman’s intervention in West-Africa‚ the economic well-being of families is greatly restored. However‚ this supposed positive change also casts many negative circumstances

Objectives for Lecture 9 Know the difference in resolution and magnification between light and electron microscopes. Understand the process of cell fractionation based on centrifugation and know what the purpose of cell fractionation is. Know what the differences in cell structure are between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells Know that most eukaryotic cells are between 10-100 m in diameter‚ whereas most prokaryotic cells are about 1 m in diameter. Know the following terms‚ plasma

during the production or modification of food materials. Biocatalytic conversion of raw materials‚ thus‚ can lead to the production of novel foods and food ingredients‚ or modification of existing food or food ingredients. Research in this aspect of catalysis is essential because the output of the research is often new food products and process technologies. This surely will help improve the economy of Malaysia especially when the raw ingredients (e.g. palm oil‚ sago starch‚ fruits etc.) used are indigenous

If history has shown us one thing it is that in times of terrible injustice and horrid tragedy how people react tends to be radically divided. When looking back at unjust acts done against others there always seem to be a large amount of people who seem to agree with said action‚ or are indifferent to it. It is difficult to look back at times when people were being mistreated and completely understand why more people didn’t fight against the injustice. And though there are people who we now consider
