Analysis of the Enzyme Sucrase for Optimum Temperature, pH, and Concent

Analysis of the Enzyme Sucrase for Optimum Temperature, pH, and Concentration pinchEnzymes react divers(prenominal)ly under different conditions and concentrations, being the most deep at the enzymes specific optimum condition and concentration. The enzyme sucrase, extracted from yeast, breaks down the complex profits saccharose into the simple sugar glucose. Testing for sucrases optimum environs, multiple reactions were ran using varying totalitys and concentrations of sucrose and sucrase at different pHs and temperatures. The product was consequently treated with Benedicts solution to visu all(prenominal)y observe what amount of glucose was chip in after the reaction was ran negative results being little to no glucose present and imperious results being glucose present. The varying levels of colors created by the Benedicts prove were recorded as 1 (negative) blue 2 green 3 yellow 4 (positive) orange and 5 (positive) red. After running the reactions to hear the optimum te mperature and pH, 37 degrees Celsius was determined to be the optimum temperature while pH 2.0 was determined to be the optimum pH. This means that under these conditions the enzyme will overhaul produce the most product from the substrate. After finding the optimum conditions the both different concentrations of sucrose were ran for ten minuets taking an initial sample and then subsequent samples every minuet, under those conditions, one concentration at 2.5% sucrose and again at 10% sucrose. The 10% sucrose had the most positive results because there were sufficient active sites to bind with most of the sucrose present producing glucose more efficiently than the 2.5% sucrose. As with the 2.5% sucrose all of the sucrose was hold to the active sites of sucrase and there were ... ...ty Benedict test results. One of these possibilities or some combination can lead to inaccurate optimum temperature and or pH, which in turn would through off the optimum concentration. Over all I fee l that the most important part of the optimum environment is the pH because of the competitive inhibition caused by free protons in solution. whole caboodle CITEDHalverson, K.
