What conditions are necessary for the enzymatic breakdown of protein into peptides?
Low pH(HCl) amylase incubated at 100c
How will the time taken for starch to digested in amylase be affected by the temperature?
investigate the relationship between reaction temperature and the effectiveness of the Enzyme amalayse on starch
What is the pH optimum of alpha amylase?
The optimum pH is neutral, 7.
What pH does salivary amylase function best?
The optimum pH of salivary amylase is 6.8 (slightly acidic).
How do the optimum temperature and pH for pepsin activity relate to the location of the enzyme in the body?
In the stomach, the pH could be as low as 2. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks up protein molecules. It needs to have an optimum pH close to that. In the mouth, amylase occurs. pH in the mouth is often about 7. Optimum pH for amylase needs to be close to that.
Does amylase activity increase or decrease in the stomach?
The activity of amylase decreases drastcially due to the very low pH this is one of the reasons more amylase is added by the pacreas.
Optimum pH of sweet potato amylase?
optimum pH of amylase from sweet potato is about 6.0
What conditions are necessary for the enzymatic breakdown of protein into peptides?
Low pH(HCl) amylase incubated at 100c
Would amylase be active in the stomach?
Salivary amylase works well around pH 7 (inside the mouth), but inside the stomach are gastric juices which contain HCl. Since the HCl drops the pH of the solution significantly, it denatures the amylase so that it will no longer function as it normally would, breaking down starch and glycogen.
How will the time taken for starch to digested in amylase be affected by the temperature?
investigate the relationship between reaction temperature and the effectiveness of the Enzyme amalayse on starch
What is the optimum pH for amylase activity at pH?
The optimum pH of a bacterial amylase depends on the species of bacterium. One review of different species found optima ranging from pH 4 to 11.To take one example, the α-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BAA) has an optimum pH of 6.Bacterial amylases are important in a number of industrial processes.
At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase?
pH of about 7
What pH does it acts salivary amylase works best in?
About 7.4 pH.
What is the pH optimum of alpha amylase?
The optimum pH is neutral, 7.
What pH does salivary amylase function best?
The optimum pH of salivary amylase is 6.8 (slightly acidic).
Why does amylase work best at pH around 7?
Because that's the average (more or less) pH of the mouth and of the small intestine. If the optimum pH of amylase is not met, the enzyme will denature.
Why does amylase work best at pH 7?
Because, Amylase is the main emzyne in saliva that converts starch into sugar and the average pH of saliva is 7.
