Enzyme Kinetics Lab Report: The reaction rate of enzyme, '-amylase in Starch-Iodine solution at different temperatures and pH levels

Abstract:This experimentation was to evaluate absorbance and the reaction rate of an enzyme, '-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testi ... would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate.To test the opt ... To test the optimal pH, the starch and a buffer were combined at a specific pH level and tested the absorbance of a solution at various times. To resolve the reaction rate of a solution at various tem ...

Determinations of the Protein Concentration of a Cell Extract Using the 'Bradford Method'

the Bradford dye reagent was added to 100μl of the solution and allowed to stand for 28mins. The absorbance of each solution is measured at 595 nm with the following results: 0.00 mg/cm3 = 0.00, 0. ... 4 mg/ cm3 = 0.34, 0.6 mg/ cm3 = 0.56, 0.8 mg/ cm3 = 0.68, and 1.0 mg/ cm3 = 0.80. The values of the absorbance were plotted against protein concentrations and the resulting line was used to calculate ...
