CHECK THESE SAMPLES OF Effects of Low pH on Enzyme Amylase
This paper ''Effect of enzyme Concentration'' tells us that the rate of reaction in tube 1 was rapidly followed by tube 2 and in tube 3 it was the slowest.... This difference was because of the differences in the concentration of yeast cells that produces catalase enzyme directly proportion to the amount in each tube.... The higher the concentration of catalase enzyme the higher the rate of reaction and vice versa.... This is evidenced by the low volume of oxygen produced in tube 3 with less enzyme concentration....

The paper "Experiment on Factors Affecting enzyme amylase Activity" states that visual tests were used to evaluate the enzyme activity in every part of the experiment.... The enzyme amylase was used.... Therefore, the faster the blue color is lost, the faster the enzyme amylase activity.... The enzyme amylase can't hydrolyze starch if it is inactivated, so the starch-iodine complex blue color will persist.... The experiment aimed to look at how enzyme amylase activity is affected by pH, temperature, and concentration of the enzyme....

The effects of pH, temperature and enzyme concentration on enzyme activity Abstract: This experiment aimed to prove that the activity of amylase is affected by parameters such as temperature, pH and concentration.... Introduction: amylase is an enzyme that helps in breaking down starch to form sugars such as maltose and glucose.... Materials: The materials used were: 400 mL beakers, thermometers, hot plate, ice, 1% starch solution, 2 grams of soluble starch, iodine in dropper bottles, buffer solutions with pH levels of 4, 7 and 10, well (spot) plate labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4, saliva (amylase) solution, test tube rack, test tubes, droppers, a 10 mL graduated cylinder and water squirters....

917 - Bacterial amylase is used by Boiden and Effront to perform textile desizing.... Each enzyme catalyses a specific reaction, and this specificity is one of the hallmarks of an enzyme.... In addition, each enzyme also has certain conditions within which it will be active.... The conditions vary from enzyme to enzyme, though there is generally a common overlap amongst them.... However it was not until the beginning of the 19th century that enzyme research as a field really took off....

Their study is purposed to understand the extended role of RNA in the pre-historic era and use their findings to mitigate the negative effects of diseases.... Placing an iodine solution on the agar to determine amylase consumption will halt any catalysis of the agar.... This paper ''The Etymology of an enzyme'' states that generally speaking, the enzyme has some parameters that it operates into work effectively.... Each type of enzyme has a different type arrangement, and therefore, each possesses a specific function....

Hydrolysis of starch also requires some activation energy but due to the presence of biological catalysts, enzyme amylase this activation energy can be reduced and the reaction is carried out with ease.... This paper determines the enzymatic activity of amylase over a range of temperatures and thus brings a close look at the optimal temperature for amylase activities in humans (human amylases) and fungus, Aspergillus oryzae (fungal amylase)....

In addition, conclusions also suggested that change in temperature affects the working of the enzyme amylase.... This work called "The Hydrolysis of Alpha-amylase" describes the experiment that was made up of setting up a starch control group placing bacterial and fungal amylases in starch and placing them in various temperatures.... For each temperature, iodine was placed in each row of the spot plates and the bacterial and fungal amylase and starch mixture solutions contained in the test tubes were added to the spots depending on time and temperatures....
