Microorganisms are referred as predominant source of commercial enzyme (Wiwapat et al., 2002, Kvesitadze, Kvesitadze 1990, Kutateladze et al., 2009). Due to diverse spectrum of applications enzyme production now became a multi-billion dollar business (Bhat, 2000). The market of the technical enzymes showed great diversity both in terms of the applications as well as the consumption. It has been evaluated that global sale of enzymes was $1.7–2 billion in 2005 which is expected to grow in the forthcoming

Hillsborough Community College - Ybor City Campus 1025C Laboratory Exercise 3: Characteristics of Enzymes Introduction What are Enzymes? Enzymes are very large and complex proteins that that function as catalysts. They are synthesized by the cell to perform very specific functions. Each type of enzyme has a very specific shape (conformation) which provides its specific function. The shape of an enzyme molecule is determined and maintained by many weak intermolecular interactions between many different

Enzyme Controlled Reactions The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate and observe how enzyme-catalyzed reaction rates are affected by substrate and pH concentrations. You will go to the following website: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078757134/383930/BL_11.html You will follow the instructions and work through the simulation as instructed in the lab. As you perform the simulation, you will record your results in the table below (answers need to be in another color font).

Enzymes and pH pH is a measure of H+ concentration. The higher the concentration of H+ the lower the pH values (acids) A hydrogen ion has a (+) charge so will be attracted to negatively charged molecules or parts of molecules. As like charges repel, positive molecules or parts of molecules will repel hydrogen ions. Large numbers of hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds are responsible for holding the tertiary structure of an enzyme protein in place. This ensures that the active site is also held

UTAR FHSC1214 Fundamentals of Cell Biology Trimester 1 How YOU can do well in BIOLOGY Follow the 4A’s and you can expect A’s. A ttitude • Attend ALL lectures, tutorials and practicals on time without fail. • Be attentive in class and revise your notes after class while the topic is still fresh in your mind. Why waste time re-reading 2-3 months later? • Do your assignments faithfully as they carry marks for the finals. • Come prepared for lessons (i.e. read up beforehand). •

The name of enzyme involved in this experiment is salivary amylase, which presents in our saliva. Salivary amylase catalyses the breakdown of complex sugar, such as starch, into a simple sugar, such as glucose. In this experiment, the optimum temperature for salivary amylase to function is 37˚C. Above the optimum temperature, the kinetic energy in the substrate and enzyme increases. The number of collisions between substrate and enzyme also increases, but the formation of enzyme-substrate complex

is increased it is possible that more molecules per unit time will reach the activation energy. Thus the rate of the reaction may increase. 2) The number of collisions per unit time will increase. In order to convert substrate into product, enzymes must collide with and bind to the substrate at the active site. Increasing the temperature of a system will increase the number of collisions of enzyne and substrate per unit time. Thus, within limits, the rate of the reaction will increse. 3)

cell. The organelle contain variety of enzymes which involved in different metabolic reaction. Peroximoses were named because of its enzyme contains that usually remove hydrogen atoms from particular organic substrates with molecular oxygen. This oxidative reaction will produce hydrogen peroxide. [pic] However, during “peroxidative” reaction (H2O2 + R′ H2 → R′ + 2H2O), catalase (an enzyme in peroxisomes) will capitalize on the H2O2 produced by other enzymes in the organelle, in order to oxidize
