Enzyme

or LDH, is an oxidoreductase that occurs in many organism and is a reaction that is important to many cells. From the peptide sequence, this specific enzyme catalyzes the pyruvate to lactate reaction along with the coenzyme NAD+/ NADH. The enzyme classification for this sequence is EC: 1.1.1.27, these numbers each identify a specific part of the enzyme and the reaction is a part of. The first one identifies that this is and oxidoreductase reaction, which accounts for the dehydrogenase in the name.

temperature and pH levels became too acidic/basic, foam volume/enzyme activity decreased significantly. This supports the hypothesis that enzyme activity will be most reactive at room temperature (25 degrees celsius) and a neutral pH level of 7. Although it worked best at room temperature (25 degrees celsius), it also worked fairly well when the enzyme was placed in ice (0 degrees celsius), rejecting that part of the hypothesis. However, the enzyme was less active at 0 degrees celsius compared to 25 degrees

Enzymes play a major part to human well- being. Some of their roles that they play in are digestion and nutrient assimilation, in immune response, cognitive acceleration and cellular detoxification, among other things. Their main job is to accomplish specific functions throughout the body. The pancreas is what produces most of the digestive enzymes which are then called pancreatic enzymes. Another thing that enzymes are important for would be breaking down carbohydrates, protein, and fatty acids

provided with three unknown enzymes that can potentially be identified as amylase, protease, or none of the two. The goal established for this experiment is to discover the identities of the three enzymes by conducting two specific diagnostic arrays (Ninhydrin and Benedict’s Test) upon polysaccharide and protease solutions that contain one of the three unknown solution. Through these experiments, we searched for the presence of monomers to determine if one of the three enzymes catalyzed exergonic reactions

Enzymes are a substance mostly known as macromolecular biological catalysts. These substances are produced by a living organism that kind of acts as a catalyst to bring a reaction to them. Enzymes have occurred more than 5,000 years ago, as humans stored milk in animal stomachs, which happened to contained enzymes that turned the milk into cheese. The process begins when substrates, the molecules in a cell, are converted into new different molecules from the enzymes, these are known as the products

Enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts. They can spontaneously metabolize a metabolic reaction without involving itself in the process. In order for a reaction to start a substrate must be present. As substrate concentration increases so does the initial rate of reaction. However, as observed in figure 1 , over time all the enzymes will be used up thus saturate and a plateau of a reaction will occur. Enzymes have sites on their surface which substrates bind to, creating an enzyme-substrate

determines their function. Enzymes, being proteins themselves, are no different. An enzyme’s unique three-dimensional shape determines which substrate it can catalyze (Campbell et al., 2009). Substrates are the molecules that are reactants for their respective enzymes. For example, when eating a steak, we would see the enzyme protease, working to breakdown the protein substrate found in the meat (Wikipedia et al, 2015). Similarly, by eating a salad, we have triggered the digestive enzyme amylase in the stomach

Enzymes are a specific kind of protein that usually act to enhance a chemical reaction. Enzymes, like any other protein, are made of amino acids arranged in a specific pattern that in transcribed through mRNA and translated in the nucleus by the ribosomes. The basic amino acid chain is called the primary structure, the chain usually undergoes bonding that results in either an Alpha helix structure or a Beta sheet structure depending on the function of the enzyme and the interactions between the amino

Enzymes: Clinical Applications Enzymes mediate almost every single biochemical reaction, process or metabolic event in the body. Overall, enzymes are proteins whose primary function is to catalyze, increase the rate of the biochemical reactions (Champe et al., 2005). Enzymes are not only efficient in increasing the rate or velocity in a biological reaction, but also are incredibly accurate at recognizing other biochemical structures to create specific products. Taking into consideration how diverse

Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity 6B Ava Suda Cor Jesu Academy Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity 6B Introduction Hydrogen Peroxide, or H2O2, is harmful to most living organisms but can be converted to oxygen and water before the damage is permanent. This is thanks to enzymes, the biological catalysts that increase the rate of reactions. Enzymes can be studied by measuring the rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. This can be done in a number of ways, including measuring the
