Lab Report #2 Template Biological Catalysts: Enzymes Lab group report responsibilities: Primary authors of section I (Overview) = Gabriella Primary authors of section II (Results) = Trinity Primary authors of section III (Conclusions) = Angel Overview: Biological Significance: (about 2-3 sentences) This should be about enzymes in general. Enzymes take on a pivotal role in catalysis of chemical reactions, DNA replication, and energy production. Examining how enzymes perform functions and the environments that impact those functions is biologically signifiant, as it relates to broader biological processes. By clarifying the implications of temperature and pH on enzymes, optimal and stable conditions for enzymes can be identified. Moreover, by observing the role of enzymes in chewing, the process of energy production from food can be explained. Hypothesis : A peroxidase enzyme in not optimally low pH and high pH solutions will absorb less and will take longer to absorb in comparison to a peroxidase enzyme in a more optimal neutral pH solution due to the disruption of ionic and hydrogen bonds that stabilize the enzyme. Prediction: The pH 9 and pH 3 solutions will absorb less and take longer to absorb than the pH 5 solution. Considering that the pH of a radish (a plant that contains peroxidase) is from 5.5 to 6.8, the pH 9 and pH 3 solutions are considered extreme environments that will denature the enzyme. Therefore, the peroxidase will have the highest and quickest absorbance in a pH5 environment. One hypothesis and prediction statement about the peroxidase experiment. These should be very specific! Pick one treatment (ex. 48 °C, pH 3, etc) to make a hypothesis and prediction about. (Normally, a full lab report will include a methods section in the “Overview”. This week, just focus on the Biological Significance, Hypothesis, & Conclusion sections)
