The Behavior of Proteins: Enzymes Enzymes are Effective Biological Catalyst Catalysis- speeds up metabolism to allow production of products. Enzymes- Highly specific and most efficient catalyst that speeds up metabolism or rate of reaction in organisms by factor up to 10^20 (globular proteins) Nonenzymatic catalyst- enhance by 10^2 -10^4 Ribozymes- acts for catalytic activity in RNA’s Kinetics versus Thermodynamics Standard free energy change- difference between the energies of the reactants

Determining the Catalytic Properties of the Enzyme Peroxidase Extracted from a Turnip Under the Conditions of Temperature‚ pH‚ Boiling and Competitive Inhibitors By Robin Caserta BIO 101 September 30‚ 2013 ABSTRACT The enzyme‚ peroxidase‚ extracted from a turnip was tested for its efficiency in binding to its substrate and its stability under several conditions. To do this‚ we tested effects on peroxidase activity‚ first‚ with different amounts of the enzyme‚ next at temperatures of

green precipitate means a little glucose was present. A red precipitate means glucose is present in vast amounts. Food Test 2: Test for Starch – with Iodine solution. Iodine solution is used to identify the presence of starch- a complex carbohydrate. Iodine solution (potassium iodide solution) reacts with amylase – a type of starch – whereby a blue-black polyiodide complex is formed. Method 1) Mix smalls amount of each food samples (i.e.‚ Egg lumen‚ cylindrical piece of potato tuber‚

Preliminary Unknown Report Alexis Grettenberger 800503431 Katie Young Alexis Grettenberger Biol 311 Lab 11/21/14 Preliminary Unknown Report Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to identify a specific unknown bacterium that was isolated from a multitude of bacteria in a sample of contaminated dirt by running it through a series of identification techniques. Some of these techniques were simple staining‚ gram staining‚ and isolation techniques. The hypothesis of this experiment was that

This lab activity will go over environmental factors that affect the folded structure of proteins. We used a raw egg and noted the changes that happen when there were changes in temperature‚ pH levels‚ and salinity. Five eggs were cracked open and placed into different bowls with different solutions placed into each bowl. What we looked at was the process of denaturing of proteins seeing how it affected the composition of the raw egg between the yoke and white portion. My hypothesis for this experiment

Introduction Memory is defined as the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information(Eysenck & keane‚ 2010). Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) (Cowan‚ Rouder‚ & Stadler‚ 2000)‚ came up with a model of sensory memory which stated not everything we perceive we process. Craik and Tulving (1975) developed an opposing theory in which they proposed the levels of processing theory‚ stating its not the processing but the type of quality of the processing that is performed‚ that determines the retention
