    The purpose of this experiment was to determine (1) the reaction rate of an amylase enzyme in starch and (2) the environmental factors that can affect the enzymatic activity. The hypothesis, in relation to the enzymatic activity by variables such as the substrate concentrations, temperature, PH and chemical interactions on the rate of reaction, stated the following scenarios: (1) If the substrate concentration is increased, then the enzymatic rate will increase (2) If the temperature is increased, then the enzymatic rate will also increase (3) If the PH level is increased, then the enzymatic rate will decrease.…

    Bacterial Amylase’s optimal temperature is 55° C. In the first column, each well displayed barely any enzyme activity meaning the enzymes were denatured. In the second and third column, the enzyme was reasonably active and starch hydrolysis was occurring. And lastly, the last column all enzymes were denatured. The control in the experiment was the first row, or 0 minutes, because the Starch was not mixed in with Amylase at that point proving that starch turns into a black complex and comparisons were…

    62 Iodine test for starch Amount of starch remaining Enzyme activity level Dark blue-black All None (0) Blue Most Low (1) Light brown Some Moderate (2) Gold None High (3) Part 1: Effect of Enzyme Concentration 1. Label five test tubes 1-5. Place 4 mL of 1 % starch in each of the first four test tubes. Place 4 mL of amylase solution in the fifth tube. Place all of the tubes in the 37°C water bath for 5 minutes. Obtain 5 clean droppers and label them 1-5. (To avoid contamination of these solutions, you will use a separate dropper for each mixture.) 2. Tube 1 will be your control and it will not contain any enzyme. Remove the tubes from the water bath momentarily, and quickly add 3 drops of the warmed amylase solution to tube 2, add 6 drops amylase to tube 3, and add 10 drops amylase to tube 4. Mix the tubes quickly by shaking them gently, and immediately put them back in the 37°C water bath. Record the time at which you added enzyme. Go on immediately to the next step. 3. Transfer four drops of each reaction mixture (tubes 1-4) using a separate clean dropper for each to separate wells on a spot plate. (Keep the test tubes in the water bath.) Add one drop of the iodine reagent to each. Record your observations. Use the visual color reference table to assess the enzyme activity. After you have recorded your observations, rinse off the spot plate. 4. Repeat step 3 after the mixtures have had five minutes of reaction time. 5. Repeat step 3 after the mixtures have had ten minutes of reaction time. 6. In the test tubes where hydrolysis occurred, the presence of glucose can be confirmed with Benedict’s reagent. Add 3 mL of Benedict’s reagent to each test tube and put them in the boiling water bath for 3-4 minutes. The appearance of a green to orange or red precipitate indicates the presence of glucose. If the solution remains blue with no solid, then no glucose is present and no hydrolysis of the starch has taken place. 7. Make a graph of the enzyme activity vs. the amount…
