gene from Bacillus subtilis in Pichia pastoris and Escherichia coli. Introduction Enzyme is a type of catalyst that present in living organisms used for many biotechnological functions in various industrial processing. It has a special characteristic that allows the chemical reaction to speed up without being altered, thus significantly improve the industrial productivity (Roy et al. 2012). Among various enzymes available in market, α-amylase has received a special attention in commercial production

R-AM R-PM F-AM F-PM Experiment 9 – Pre-lab Homework Enzyme Kinetics of LDH This pre-lab homework assignment is due at the beginning of your lab session. You are provided with the following portion of a protocol: • Determine concentration of enzyme stock solution, if unknown, by taking an A280 nm reading of a 1:100 dilution (in water). Use a total volume of 1 ml in the cuvette. • Dilute some of the enzyme stock with buffer A to make a 4 mg/ml solution. • Serially dilute

suspects narrowed down to her half sister who was very jealous of her and her ex-boyfriend. Similar to the procedure done in forensics the samples of the crime scene blood, the blood of suspect A and the blood of suspect B were combined with restriction enzymes and put through gel electrophoresis to determine which suspect’s blood matched the blood found at the crime scene.

ioChapter 6 Metabolism: Energy and Enzymes The nature of energy and the laws of thermodynamics are discussed, followed by a detailed description of energy transformations that occur within the cell. The chemistry and functions of ATP are described. The role of enzymes in metabolism, oxidation-reduction reactions, and the cellular organelles in which these reactions take place are detailed. Chapter Outline 6.1 Cells and the Flow of Energy A. Forms of Energy 1. Energy is capacity to do work;

Chapter 3 Enzymes Learning Outcomes Candidates should be able to: (a) explain that enzymes are globular proteins that catalyse metabolic reactions; (b) explain the mode of action of enzymes in terms of an active site, enzyme/substrate complex, lowering of activation energy and enzyme specificity; (c) [PA] follow the progress of an enzyme-catalysed reaction by measuring rates of formation of products (for example, using catalase) or rates of disappearance of substrate (for example, using amylase);

Enzyme inhibition refers to a decrease in enzyme-related processes, enzyme production, or enzyme activity. Various clinically critical communications between drugs result from CYP450 hindrance. CYP450 inhibitors are diverse in their selectivity toward proteins and are arranged by their systems of activity. A few medications are strong focused inhibitors and go after the dynamic site, yet they are not a substrate for the compound (e.g., quinidine and CYP2D6), while different medications are noncompetitive

occur. Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy barrier. 9. The reactant that an enzyme acts on is called the enzymes substrate. The substrate binds to the enzyme in the enzyme’s active site to form the enzyme –substrate complex. 10. An enzymes environment can affect its activity. Factors such as temperature, pH and different chemicals can influence if an enzyme will work. 11. In competitive inhibition the inhibitor looks similar to the enzymes substrate

In this lab, the objective was in the end to determine the effect of the catalysis of an enzyme on different substrate concentrations of p-nitrophenol along with varying amounts of enzyme inhibition. The enzyme applied to the p-nitrophenol was alkaline phosphatase. At first seven given different concentrations of the substrate were created into 3ml solutions. These were each tested with 0.1ml of enzyme. This testing was carried out using the method of photometry and the instrument called a spectrophotometer

relationship between the enzyme parameters of the Michaelis–Menten equation. This equation is represented in equation 3 below. The plot was supposed to be a smooth curve but an error occurred, so the velocity of tube 8 was lower than expected. Tube 8 and tube 9 had the same concentration of substrate, so the velocity of tube 8 should have been the same as the velocity of tube 9. The velocity of tube 9 was 26.296μmoles/liter/min. This error could have been due to the wrong about of enzyme or ONPG added to

The gene lacZ encodes the tetramer, ß-galactosidase, which is responsible for hydrolyzing the ß-1,4 glycosidic linkage between galactose and glucose in lactose. The transport of lactose into the cell via the enzyme lactose permease is encoded by the gene lacY. The lacA gene encodes the enzyme, galactoside transacetylase, a trimer that transfers an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to galactosides. Activation of these genes is dependent on the activity of a promoter and three operators based on the nutritional
