The Effect Of Varying Enzyme Concentration On The Breakdown Of Hydrogen Peroxide In The Presence Of Catalase
Grade: 18/18 Words: 3000
Hypothesis – Hydrogen peroxide will breakdown to oxygen and water in the presence of Catalase.  The reaction will increase with increasing enzyme concentration when molecules of hydrogen peroxide are freely available.  However, when molecules of the [...]

Aim
To investigate some of the properties of immobilised enzymes.
Introduction
The four-session practical exercise is designed to give some insight into the preparation and properties of immobilised enzymes. 
It consists of three parts:

Preparation and properties of covalently-immobilised a-amylase. 
Preparation and properties of non-covalently-immobilised a-amylase.
The use of a packed-bed and stirred tank reactor.

 
Before starting work, read through the Methods and [...]

Presented with raw potato how would you carry out an experiment to determine the concentration of the potato cell in molar strength?
The experiment was set up to be as fair as possible. Then the potato chips were cut into 15 cylinders using a cork cutter and then cut to a length of exactly 4cm [...]
