Enzyme substrate

my data table and graph results it is clear to see that as the substrate concentration increases so does the rate of reaction. The catalysing of enzymes involves molecular movement of the substrate and enzymes in an aqueous solution. Therefore the substrate and enzymes are moving randomly within the solution (Brownian motion). By increasing the concentration of the substrate particles the rate of reaction is increased as the substrate is much more likely to find an active site. This results in…

II. Introduction An enzyme is a specific type of macromolecule known as a catalyst, that accelerates the rate of chemical reactions by taking part in the reaction without being consumed (Wilson, et al 2015). Enzymes participate in these reactions inside the cell and decrease the activation energy required to begin the reaction. These catalytic agents bind to substrates that are changed into products. A component of the enzyme that is responsible for binding to substrate or the reactant is…

i. Enzymes are macromolecules that increase chemical reactions without being consumed in the reaction. They do this by lowering the activation energy (the amount of energy that reactants need to absorb in order for a chemical reaction to take place). Every enzyme has a substrate with a unique shape and structure for it to bind to. Denaturation of proteins (when a protein unravels and becomes inactive), and change in the shape of the enzyme or substrate all influence the activity and…

when added to different enzymes. Albumin is a protein found in egg white, which is considered to have important storage and nutritional functions. Albumin has also been used in medicine to treat heavy metal intoxication. We ran Albumin through four different conditions to see which would make the Albumin degrade faster. We predicted that the Albumin would degrade with pepsin the fastest since it is essential for digestion of substances in the stomach. Introduction Enzymes contain the chemical…

Enzymes are macromolecules that act as a catalyst in order for chemical reactions to occur. Their function is highly dependent on what the structure of the enzyme because they have things called active sites that recognize specific substrates. A substrate is a molecule that fits into the active sites of enzymes so a reaction can occur. For example, sucrose (substrate) fits into sucrase (enzyme) where hydrolysis occurs consequently splitting sucrose into glucose and fructose. However, in our…

DISCUSSION Nelson et al, 2008, state “all enzymes that exhibit a hyperbolic dependence of V0 on [S] are said to follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics”. The data gathered from this experiment and plotted in figure 6 shows that it is this pattern shown in the reaction of PNPP to PNP catalysed by acid phosphatase, where a hyperbolic curve is observed in the graph of rate of reaction against substrate concentration, approaching the Vmax asymptotically. Acid phosphatase behaved congruently to the…

(ACS, 2016). What is a specific example that exists for pharmaceutical reactions? A specific example that exist for a pharmaceutical reaction may consist of a transfer of an acetyl group from an aspirin molecule to a serine amino acid of a protein enzyme known as a COX inhibitor. An example of a balanced chemical equation would be aspirin+COX→salicylic acid+COX-OAc (Ilocis, 2016). What is the difference between diagnostic chemical reactions in healthcare? A diagnostic chemical reaction…

Zinc is a trace mineral that is necessary for growth, healing, and overall health. It helps more than 100 enzyme systems. It is used in metabolic reactions in cells. Zinc aids in immune system function, the growth of bone, teeth, and connective tissue, and gene regulation. Meat, fish, and poultry contain the best-absorbed form of zinc. However, fortified cereals and legumes also contain zinc. Zinc can also be consumed by taking a supplement. A deficiency in zinc can cause growth…

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…

Introduction Enzymes are an important biological catalyst that is absolutely crucial for life to exist. The ultimate purpose of this experiment was to examine enzymes and how they function in cells, explore the result that concentrations and environmental factors have over these functions, and lastly to read and interpret graphs related to enzyme function. This type of study had various parts, therefore there are various hypotheses. The first being, if it is potato extract, then it will contain…
