Enzyme

Interpretation 1. Theoretical Lab Discussion This lab occurs due to enzyme kinetics, and the kinetics molecular theory. Enzyme kinetics is the study of chemical reactions that are catalysed by enzymes, and during the experiments, the reaction rate was measured by the effects of the varying conditions the substrate was in. Influence of Catalase Concentration The higher the concentration of the enzyme catalase, the function of the enzyme occurs better. As the number of disks increased, the…

hydrogen peroxide solution (10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C) This is used to determine the rate of the enzyme catalase reaction. Dependent Variable The dependent variable are the values, which depend of the independent variable. The height of the froth in the test tube when the liver cube is reacted with hydrogen peroxide. The height of the froth is determined by the rate of the of the enzyme catalase reaction at varying temperatures. Constant Variables A constant variable are variables…

3122260 Date: October 15th, 2014 Introduction Metabolism consists of biochemical reactions catalyzing the conversion of complex macronutrients into usable energy by various enzymes. Energy in food is extracted from three macronutrients - carbohydrate, protein and fat. As food passes through the digestive tract, various enzymes and chemicals in the body break food particles into macronutrients and macronutrients. Macronutrients are the energy providers that are further processed into…

(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…

multiplex PCR assay, Taq DNA polymerase enzyme concentrations must be carefully considered. Basically, too high concentration of Taq DNA polymerase enzyme concentration will produce non-specific background products, but if the concentration of enzyme is too low, an insufficient amount of desired product is produced. The cofactor MgCl2 concentration may also affect primer annealing, strand dissociation temperature of template and PCR product, product specificity, and enzyme activity (Innis and…

Introduction Catalase is a vital component in the human body. The most crucial of which would be Enzymes, these are protein catalysts. A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction rate. Virtually all chemical reactions within the human body require a catalase enzyme to be completed in the proper amount of time. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water can be completed with the catalase enzyme (Thompson, 2005). In the experiment completed, this is shown through the creation of O2.…

In non-competitive allosteric inhibition, inhibitor molecules bind to an enzyme at the allosteric site. Their binding induces a conformational change that reduces the affinity of the enzyme's active site for its substrate. The binding of this allosteric inhibitor changes the conformation of the enzyme and its active site, so the substrate is not able to bind. This prevents the enzyme from lowering the activation energy of the reaction, and the reaction rate is reduced. However, allosteric…

1. Our experiment supported our hypothesis. The optimal temperature for the activity of the human amylase is 37°C. This suggest that enzymes have to adapt to the temperature of the organisms in order to develop work because the normal temperature of human is 37°C. It is important to understand that the enzyme amylase play a role to breakdown, so other enzymes can produce sugar of it. In humans, it is critical to develop work at human’s temperature to continue developing break down the molecules…

acid by pancreatic enzymes prior to absorption. First, the chicken is mechanically digested in the mouth when chewed and breaks it into smaller pieces. The partially digested chicken travels to the stomach and begins digesting with the action of enzymes called pepsin (Primal Pictures). Pepsin breaks the bonds that hold the protein molecule together. Once these bonds have been broken they form a chain of amino acids that are linked together called polypeptides (Primal…

a reaction with a catalyst. A catalyst is a molecule that starts a chemical reaction, but it is not part of the reaction it is causing. The experimenters will use pieces cut up potato as an organic catalyst. The potato contain enzymes that will perform the reactions. Enzymes, “are proteins, produced by living cells; they catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur” (Carter 1). Substrates or reactants are…
