Abstract Enzyme catalysis was observed in order to analyze how changes in temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and substrate concentration affected an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. This experiment analyzed the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and observed the correlation between catalase activity and products formed. It was found out that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction starts off rapidly‚ decreases‚ and levels off or completely stops‚ and can be further affected by environmental factors

My lab group studied the effect of PH on reaction rate/ enzyme activity measured by foam height. PH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration‚ the lower the pH. Every enzyme has an optimal PH‚ meaning they have a very small window in which they are most active. Our enzyme (potato smoothie) had an optimal PH of 7.0-7.5. We know this because we measured the enzyme’s reaction rate by measuring foam height. The largest foam height we

Enzymes Reactions to Changes in Substrate and Inhibitors Benjamin J. Mora Coronado University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at Edinburgh Abstract Purpose for the experiments was to test the enzymes in various scenarios and see how changing this would affect the rate of reaction. The enzyme source used in the experiments was Turnip Extract. Concentrations of Turnip extract for activity 1 where o.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ and 2.0 ml as for the rest of the activities 2 Through 4 stayed at a consistent concentration

The purpose of the first week experiment was to determine the effect of Nitrophenyl phosphate concentration‚ the substrate‚ on the enzyme‚ acid phosphatase‚ reaction. In an enzyme reaction‚ there is substrate that binds to the active site of the enzyme and product is the end result. The enzyme is the catalyst for the reaction which means that it speeds up the process. Without enzymes‚ the majority of reactions would not occur because the activation energy level would be unattainable. With this in

Unit 11: Kinetics and Equilibrium Activated complex: an intermediate state that is formed during the conversion of reactants into products‚ the structure that results at the maximum energy point along the reaction path. Activation energy: a chemical reaction is the difference between the energy of the activated complex and the energy of the reactants. Catalyst: substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy‚ but which is left unchanged by the reaction

CONDITION OF EQUILIBRIUM IBAÑEZ‚ Jonen Lery L. OBJECTIVE A torque is an influence‚ which tends to change the rotational motion of an object. One way to quantify a torque is force applied times the lever arm. In this experiment we consider the systems in equilibrium and its applications and how the forces acting on the system affect torque. To serve as a guide there are objectives set in performing this experiment. First objective is by the second condition applied to the systems of equilibrium and the
