then added 0.5 mL of substrate (catechol) into each test tube. In the instructions it says to apply your 0.5 mL of tyrosinase (potato extract) as well but you have to blank the spectrophotometer before. The results from this experiment confirms that our hypothesis of a neutral pH displaying a stronger impact on tyrosinase is true. According to our results the pH levels at a more neutral state showed a greater reaction compared to pH levels

________________________________________________ Introduction: What was your null hypothesis? be specific A change in temperature in the reaction of catechol and catecholase will not change the absorbance of reaction over time. What was your alternative hypothesis? be specific As the environment and temperature is changed from 0 °c to 20°c to 95°c‚ the absorbance of catechol and catecholase reaction will increase over time. The rate of reaction increases as the temperature increases. Results: What were the

The first part of the experiment was broken into three sections. The first section showed the pH and color changes that an enzyme can create. It was predicted that when potato extract‚ the enzyme‚ was added to catechol‚ the substrate‚ an enzymatic reaction would occur. The second section of the experiment demonstrated enzyme specificity. It was predicted that potato extract‚ when hydroquinone was introduced‚ would not exhibit the characteristics of an enzymatic

competitive inhibitor‚ thereby impeding the forward reaction. In this experiment‚ o-diphenol oxidase‚ an enzyme that causes the browning in fruits‚ was extracted from banana and reaction rate of this was established with various concentrations of catechol‚ the substrate‚ using the Michaelis-Menten‚ Lineweaver-Burk‚ Hanes-Woolf and Eadie-Hofstee plots. The plots were generated using the slope of absorbance readings against time plots. Absorbance can be used to detect reaction rate as this notes color

Abstract This lab was performed in order to discover the activity of the enzyme catecholase in different pH levels as well as its absorbance in differently concentrated solutions. A spetrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the enzyme catecholase in different pH solutions as well as to measure the absorbance of catecholase in solutions with different concentrations of potato juice and phosphate buffers. Absorbance of the enzyme catecholase was at an optimum level when pH was close

the potatoes extract in phosphate buffer was made. We began this experiment by measuring seven constant amounts of 1ml of 0.1% catechol using a 1 mL pipet into each seven cuvettes. The catechol is our substrate solution. Next‚ different amounts of phosphate buffer ph.6 of 0.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ 1.5ml‚ 2.0 ml 2.5ml‚ 3.0ml and 4.0ml were added to each of the solution of the 0.1% catechol. The purpose of adding phosphate buffer pH6 is to maintain the particular ph6 for the polyphenol-oxidase (enzyme)‚

apple out for long‚ you’ll notice that after a while‚ it will turn brown. The reason for this is an enzyme named catechol oxidase‚ a ubiquitous plant enzymes containing a dinuclear copper center (Klabunde‚ Eicken‚ Sacchettini‚ & Krebs‚ 1998). In this experiment‚ we used two different chelators‚ ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phenylthiourea to test which would stop the effects of catechol oxidase on potato cells by testing the change in absorbency over time. Our data supported our hypothesis that

Effect of Enzyme and Substrate Concentration on Reaction Rate by Zachary A. Poché Biology 155 Laboratory October 15‚ 2014 Lab Partners: Cade White‚ Hannah Ragas‚ Russheka Aremillion ABSTRACT In order to increase the reaction rate‚ substrates attach to the active site of enzymes which decrease the activation energy required to convert substrates to products. We examined the effect of enzyme concentration and substrate concentration on the overall rate of the reaction. To determine

to find out how an increasing substrate concentration influences the rate of an enzyme activity; we obtained data from recording the absorbance of the samples which contain the same amount of potato juice (enzyme oxidase) and different amount of catechol (substrate) while holding pH and temperature constant. Our findings illustrate that the rate of enzyme activity is only influenced by substrate concentration at low level of substrate concentration‚ and as substrate concentration increases‚ the
