    Determining the Optimal Temperature and PH of Barley Amylase Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to find the optimal temperature and pH of barley alpha-amylase. I hypothesize that the optimal temperature would be 55 degrees Celsius and the optimal pH would be 5.5. In this experiment‚ the starch is used as a substrate to examine the optimum temperature and pH for the reaction of alpha amylase. It is known that the measuring of disappearance (absorbance) of the substrate starch with iodine

    How does pH affect the activity of the Amylase? Abstract: In my experiment I aimed to observe how ranging pH levels will affect the rate in which amylase will break down the starch molecules. I will be measuring the time it takes for the dark liquid to disappear and leave a yellow brown liquid to be shown‚ which would show that there is no starch present in the solution because it would have broken into maltose by adding amylase. Results did not fully demonstrate what we expected in our hypothesis

    Question: Effects of pH on amylase activity Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is in human’s saliva as well as the pancreas. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction. They break down complex molecules into simple ones. In this case‚ amylase converts starches (complex molecule) into simple sugars. That is why foods like potatoes for example‚ may taste sweet to us‚ because they contain starch. The optimum pH for pancreatic amylase is the pH of 7. In the experiment

    pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase. When a serial dilution was

    Amylase And Its Functionality At Various Ph Level Abstract Enzymes can be denatured at various ph levels in which then affects the shape of the enzymes structure and reactivity. The altering of shape causes substrates to not bind in the active site (Scott Freeman‚ Micheal Harrington‚ Joan. C Sharp‚ 2009). Amylase is used as a catalytic enzyme to determine the time period to convert starch into glucose monomers and transport into the bloodstream at different ph levels

    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 the optimal temperature being 45 degrees Celsius. Materials
