Conclusion This lab was helpful in showing us how enzyme catalysis really happens in biology. These series of experiments have proven what the optimal conditions and which are not conducive to the functioning of Peroxidase. Table 7.1 was the trial experiment and was performed to observe the overall activity of the enzyme Peroxidase. Each of the three tube mixtures were filled with different concentrations of Peroxidase. As seen on the chart the mixture of tube six and seven had the fastest

Biochemistry- The Basics An Atom is the basic unit of a chemical element ( smallest unit for measuring chemical & physical properties) Smallest particle of an element is an atom A Particle is a small portion of matter Matter is composed of elements___ Matter makes up everything in the universe. An Element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. ex. carbon‚ hydrogen‚ etc A molecule is a group of atoms bounded together ex O2 A chemical compound

Def: An enzyme is a protein formed by the body that acts as a catalyst to cause a certain desired reaction. Enzymes are very specific. Each enzyme is designed to initiate a specific response with a specific result. There are many enzymes in the human body. In cystic fibrosis‚ the term enzyme generally refers to the enzymes created by the pancreas that are intended to initate a reaction that digests food. Structure :The basic mechanism by which enzymes catalyze chemical reactions begins with

at the tip of the triphosphate tail that makes energy available to working cells. What remains is ADP‚ adenosine diphosphate. The transfer of a phosphate from the triphosphate tail to other molecules provides energy for cellular work. What are enzymes and how do they work? A protein that serves as a biological catalyst‚ changing the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed in the process. What is activation energy? For a chemical reaction to begin‚ chemical bonds in

Kunal Bhattacharjee Period 8 AP Bio Enzyme Catalysis Lab Report by Kunal Bhattacharjee 1 Kunal Bhattacharjee Period 8 AP Bio Enzyme Lab Report INTRO: Enzymes are a type of proteins that are formed by Amino acids and help speed up metabolic reactions. They are able to do this by interacting with the substrate . The substrate is what is being breaking down in the reaction. The substrate comes in to contact with the enzyme by binding to the enzyme’s unique active site

and Hydroxylamine on the Enzyme Peroxidase Extracted From Brassica rapa Abstract In this experiment the enzyme peroxidase was extracted from from a turnip‚ Brassica rapa‚ and tested under different conditions. The effects of temperature‚ boiling‚ pH‚ and a competitive inhibitor were tested. The enzyme was tested at temperatures of 4°C‚ 24°C‚ 32°C‚ and 48°C. As the temperature increased‚ so did the activity of the enzyme. The enzyme was tested at pH levels of 3

Butler 28 January 2013 I. Title: Effect of a Catalyst on Reaction Rate II. Introduction: The basis of the experiment is the enzyme; an enzyme is a biological molecule that acts as a highly selective catalyst. By combining with a substrate‚ an enzyme is able to create a new product that helps the body function. (Ex. Lactose/Lactase) A substrate is a molecule an enzyme acts upon‚ the two combine at an area called an active site. This active site allows induced fit which allows the reaction to occur

McJervis S. Villaruel Professor – BIOL2015(Lab) ABSTRACT This report entitled “Enzymatic activity of Human saliva (Salivary amylase) against temperature” aims to know and observe the enzyme activity of the human saliva. The research only included the use of starch-agar as the medium to observe enzyme activity during the experiment. Five starch-agar plates were prepared and each were labeled 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 4 and 5 respectively. One mL of saliva were placed in each starch-agar plate which was holed
