Enzyme Lab Report

Enzymes are true catylst that exist in the living matters, helping to speed up the reactions and to keep up the metabolisms within the cell. Enzymes will work properly when working in favorable condition and with substrates that will bind easliy to form products. Enzymes bind to specific sustrates for form specific product(s) in different parts of the cell. These happens in the active site where chemical reaction begain as substrates are binded to the enzymes. Enzymes have different shapes, bond attractions or size that will fit to particular substrates and may also cause configuration changes within the enzymes that produce products. Different enzymes have different properties where the reactions may be vigrous or happens in stable manner in certain time period. …show more content…
There are two type of inhibitor one is competetive inhibitors that compete with substrates to bind with the enzymes, this can result in low velocity of enzyme and the product formation. While non-competetive can bind to another active site of the enzyme incrasing the velocity and substrate concentrations.
These are measured by using Michaelis-Menten Kinetics formula, the equation measures the substrate concentration verses the velocity of an enzyme to show the relation between velocity and substrate concentration. However when enzyme reaches it maximum capacity it remains constant and this known as Vmax. Vmax and Km are correlated to each other because Km is half of the Vmax and amount of substrate concentration of reaction. The Michaelis-Mention equations will show curve on the graph and also determine the physical condition and the flow of the concentration of the enzymes and their
