The Effects of Varying pH on Enzyme Activity A lab was conducted to test different pH balances on an enzyme. Introduction: Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are three-dimensional structures that consist of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form an active site (where a substrate will fit into). Enzyme molecules are folded into a very specific shape held together by the different forces of attraction

THE RATE OF ENZYME ACTIVITY. To investigate the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity I am going to use the enzyme amylase‚ which is used as a biological catalyst to break down starch‚ which cannot pass through the gut wall due to the size of the molecules‚ into smaller ones. Amylase is a carbohydrase‚ which converts starch to simple sugars in the Salivary Glands. Three features of all enzymes are: They are always proteins. They are specific in their actions and each enzyme controls one

Question One Description on what junket contains and how it works. “The dessert named junket is made by adding the enzyme Rennin to lukewarm milk. Rennin. also known as Chymosin or in its commercial form as Rennet‚ is found in the fourth stomach of cud-chewing animals‚ and is to be found in particularly high quantities in the fourth stomach of suckling calves. The enzyme curdles the milk by transforming caseinogen into

Enzymatic activities of bioactive washing powder Title: Investigation of the amalyse activity f bioactive washing powder Objective: To investigate the amalyse activity of the two brands of bioactive washing powder – “Super clean” and “Magic power”. Principal: Amalyse can catalyse the breakdown of starch into maltose. In this practical‚ solutions of the 2 washing powders will be filled into 2 identical wells on the starch agar plate separately. Starch will be broken down by the amylase disused

Title: “The Effect of Substrate Concentration‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity” Abstract: In the following experiments we will measure precise amounts of potato extract as well as Phenylthiourea‚ combined with or without deionized water and in some instances change the temperature and observe and record the reaction. We will also investigate the different levels of prepared pH on varying samples of the potato extract and the Phenylthiourea and record the results.

Laboratory 2: Scientific Methodology & Enzyme Activity Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to simply measure oxygen production rates released from decomposed hydrogen peroxide under different conditions (concentration of enzymes‚ temperature‚ and PH level). Hypothesis: Part a: If different amounts of enzyme solution are added to the hydrogen peroxide‚ then the highest amount of enzymes will have the greatest reaction rate because enzymes catalyze reactions‚ meaning more oxygen

Effect of Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature

Measure of Enzymes Activity Abstract This experiment investigates the effect that temperature has on the rate of activity of enzyme β-galactosidase and also the rate of β-galactosidase activity in different concentration of substrate over time. Ο-nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) is used as a substrate for β-galactosidase. A spectrophotometer is used to detect the change in colour of the substrate. Results show that increase in temperature up to 50oC speeds up the rate of enzyme activity and any increase
