Is bleach an enzyme?
No, bleach is a solution.
If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substate What is the most effective way to obtain yield of produtct?
If an enzyme solution is saturated with substrate the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is to increase the enzyme concentration. An alternative is to increase the temperature.
Are enzyme catalyzed reactions example of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis?
enzyme catalysis is usually homogeneous because the substrate and enzyme are present in aqueous solution
What effect do acidic and basic solutions have on enzyme moleculues?
pH - denatures the enzyme by altering the charges on the enzyme. This will affect the structure of the enzyme and its ability to function. Heat - will denature the enzyme by breaking its bonds. This will stop the enzyme from being able to bond to a specific substrate molecule. Cold - not enough energy to reach minimum amount of activation energy needed to undergo reaction. The enzyme will not be able to react on the substrate.
Which enzyme is found in the saliva and which food type does it act on?
on the amylase solution
Why does the concentration of the enzyme make a difference to how fast the reaction works?
What does activity of an enzyme depend on?
The concentration of hydrogen ions in solution affects the enzyme activity. Each enzyme has maximal efficiency under an optimum pH. Since pH is one of the factors for the denaturation of proteins, if an enzyme is submitted to a pH level under which it is denatured there will be no enzymatic activity.
If a base is added gradually to a solution with a pH of 6 containing enzyme C and its substrate the rate of action of enzyme C would most likely?
(2) increase, then decrease
Are enzymes colloid or solutions?
a colloidal solution is defined as ,a solution in which solute in evenly suspended in solvent.For effective enzyme action an aqueous colloidal solution is the utmost necessity in a biochemical pathway.hence enzymes are colloids.
How an ELISA works?
ELISA means enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Let us keep it simple and describe a direct ELISA. First; a well plate is coated on the bottom of the well with an antigen epitope of interest. Then an antibody is prepared with an enzyme linked to it. Then the antibody is put into the well with a amount of neutral solution. The well is washed. Then the substrate of the antibody is put into the solution. If the antibody attached to the epitope was not washed away the enzyme will react with its substrate and this reaction will color the solution.
How does studying genetic disorders such as pku help biologist understand normal alleles?
PKU is a genetic disorder that, when untreated, is characterized by mental ... but, in a person with PKU, this enzyme is defective.
What tests for Lesch-Nyhan syndrome?
It is diagnosed by measuring the activity of the HPRT enzyme through a blood test. When the activity of the enzyme is very low it is diagnostic of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. It can also be diagnosed by DNA testing. This is also a blood test.
