Invertase is commonly obtained commercially from yeast or can be extracted from certain plants, such as honey and figs. It can also be produced by growing yeast in a sugar solution and isolating the enzyme from the yeast cells.

What is the normal substrate for invertase?

The normal substrate for invertase is sucrose. Invertase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into its component sugars, glucose, and fructose.


What is the molecular weight for invertase?

For yeast invertase, the cytoplasmic form is 135kDa. The excreted form is 270kDa due to heavy glycosylation


Why do temperatures lower or higher than the optimum cause decreases in invertase activity?

Extreme temperatures can denature invertase enzymes, changing their shape and rendering them nonfunctional. Higher temperatures can also disrupt the enzyme-substrate complex, affecting the catalytic activity of invertase. Conversely, lower temperatures can slow down enzymatic reactions by reducing the kinetic energy of molecules, which is necessary for enzyme-substrate interactions.


Why and how do pH changes affect invertase activity?

Most of enzymes are pH-dependent. It means that they maintain their correct folding structure only under certain pH levels. If the pH is different, they will either change conformation thus be non-functional (just like if you change structure of USB port in your PC, it won't work either) or certain electrostatic interactions (or H-bonds) required in active place of the enzyme won't be realizable. The same applies for invertase, most probably.


Why acid hydrolysis of sucrose avoided during experiment with enzyme invertase?

Acid hydrolysis of sucrose involves using acids to break down the sugar molecule, while enzyme invertase specifically catalyzes the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose. Employing acid hydrolysis would interfere with the enzyme's function by disrupting its structure or activity, ultimately thwarting the experiment’s objective of studying invertase's enzymatic action on sucrose.
