Experiment 3: Experiment on enzyme


TITLE: Experiment On Enzyme


OBJECTIVES:
1.      To determine the effect of substrate concentration on amylase.
2.      To determine the effect of different temperature on amylase.
3.      To determine the effect of different pH on amylase.
INTRODUCTION:
The study of enzymes is an integral part of the biochemistry curriculum in universities. Therefore, it is necessary to familiarize the students with the knowledge of how to develop an enzyme assay and how to observe the effects of various factors on the activity of an enzyme. In this laboratory, we will examine the kinetics of α-amylase as found in saliva. Enzyme reacts differently in different environments. The properties of the environment may influence the rate of an enzyme to react. For example, pH, temperature or substrate concentration. In this lab, we will determine the effect of such to amylase.

PROCEDURES:

A)    Preparation of standard reference

1.      Prepare starch solutions from the stock solution (1.0 mg/ml) into dilutions of 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 mg/ml from the starch stock solution.
2.      Iodine solution is prepared by adding 5 g potassium iodide to 100 ml water. The dissolved potassium iodide is added with 1 g of iodine and is allowed to dissolve.
3.      Prepare a standard curve of Absorbance (@ 590 nm) vs. Concentration of a starch/iodine
mixture.

B)    The effect of substrate concentration

Experiment of starch hydrolysis in different substrate concentration experiment must be prepared as the following table.


Data analysis
1. Calculate starch concentration for each sample after hydrolysis (SF) through use of the standard curve. The initial starch concentration (S0) is already known. [S] = (So) – (SF)
2. The velocity (rate of digestion) of the reaction for each sample can be
calculated as:
V = Δ S/ Δ t = (S0 - SF) / 10 minutes
3. Prepare a table showing rate of hydrolysis (V) at different the starch
concentrations.
4. Plot a Michaelis-Menten graph.
5. Prepare a graph of 1/starch concentration (x-axis) versus 1/rate of digestion (y-axis). This type of reciprocal graph displaying enzyme kinetics is a Lineweaver-Burke plot.
6. State the value of Vmax and Michaelis constant Km from your graph.

C)    The effect of temperature
Prepare as the following for the experiment of different temperature.


Data analysis
Plot the Lineweaver-Burke line for the result of 20, 28, 35 and 40°C.
Compare all three plots.
What are the values of Vmax and Km for all plots?

D)    The effect of pH
Prepare the following for the experiment using different pH.
Data analysis
What are the values of V for all pH?

Compare the velocity for each of the pH test

DISCUSSION:

The Effect of Substrate Concentration
Catalysts are agents that speed up chemical processes.  Almost all catalysts used by living cells are called enzymes.  Enzymes are proteins and each cell produces hundreds of them.  Enzymes accelerate the velocity of virtually all reactions that occur in biological systems including those involved in breakdown, synthesis and chemical transfers.

The binding of an enzyme to its substrate is an essential part of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction.  As the Lineweaver-Burke graph shown above, at low substrate concentration, the active site on the enzyme is not saturated by substrate and thus the enzyme is not working at full capacity.  As the concentration of the substrate increases, the sites are bound to a greater degree until saturation when no more sites are available for substrate binding.  At this saturating substrate concentration, the enzyme is working at full capacity and the maximum velocity (Vmax) of the reaction is seen as 0.019 and the Km is 0.03. The Km of substrate would indicate that the substrate-binding site would be half saturated when the substrate is present at that concentration. 

The consequence of saturating the enzyme with substrate on the reaction rate is shown in Michaelis-Menten graph. The initial velocity of the reaction increases in a hyperbolic manner as the substrate concentration is increased.  The increase in reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate complex.  Thus, Vmax occurs because the enzyme becomes saturated with substrate.

The Effect of Different Temperature oon Enzyme reactions.

Commonly we know that enzymes reaction is mainly influence by the temperature that surrounds the reaction this happen because certain factors that focusing on the molecular level of reactions between the atoms within the enzymes.As the temperature increasing the reaction by increasing the collisions as the atoms receive energy so it will collide often and this also cause the lowering of activation energy dor exergonic reactions.Next,what happen is that the number of collision increase tremendously because in order for the reaction between enzymes and substares to occur they need to collide so that it could bind to the active site.Lastly is that when the temperature is too high the temperature inside the molecule is going to become higher as there are certain kinetic energy contributing to the increase of temperature inside the molecules causing the bonds becomes weak and the enzymes proteins begin to become denatured.During this stage the reaction is no longer increasing but it begin to slow down and eventually stops.

That is what suppose to happen and from this experiment we are going to measure the velocity  of the reaction in order to know the rate of reaction influence by the temperature.There are 4 different temperatures which is  10°C.28°C.35°C and 40° C.Based on the results mostall the grapg being plotted using the Lineweaver Burke graph but none showed a good patterns as there are no saturated part as the graph is happen to be in a straight line.Actually if the grapg is good we are able to know the Vmax and the Km  from the grapg itself but based on the grapg we obtained all showed negative resulta because all the reading is zero thus we are unable to really compare the reaction rate based on the velocity for the reaction of enzyme from different temperature.


The effect of Different pH values

The activity of enzymes is also greatly influenced by acidity or alkalinity.  Excess acidity or alkalinity generally causes denaturation and inactivation of enzymes. Enzymes have an optimum pH or pH range in which their activity is maximum. At higher or lower pH their activity decreases. The active sites on enzymes are often composed of ionizable groups which must be in the appropriate ionic form to maintain the conformation of the active site, bind the substrates or catalyze the reaction. On the other hand one or more of the substrates may contain ionizable groups and only one ionic form of that substrate may bind to the enzyme or undergo catalysis.

CONCLUSION:
In conclusions,substrate which is higher in reaction rate when substrate concentration is high and when the temperature is rising but both has the satirated point where the reaction could not go any further and eventually stops.As for the pH when the excess acidity or alkalinity actually cause denaturation and inactivation of enzymes so enzymes works best only on certain specific temperature.
