The Rate of Reaction of an Enzyme

I believe the reaction rate will be faster as the reaction temperature expected by the enzyme rises, until the specific temperature at which the enzyme is denatured is reached. I believe this will happen for my background research and understanding of particle theory. When the substance is heated, the particles in the substance move further by obtaining kinetic energy. This means that as more particles collide, more collisions will occur and more energy will be generated, so that when the enzyme heats the particles will accelerate and the reaction will be faster.

There are many factors that affect the rate of enzymatic reaction. Factors include enzyme concentration, temperature, pH level, substrate concentration, inhibitors and so on. The laboratory showed the influence of these factors on catalase, the enzymes found in potatoes, and the reaction rate between hydrogen peroxide (substrate). The specific enzyme being studied in this laboratory is catalase. Catalase is a natural enzyme found in many organisms such as plants and humans. Hydrogenase degrades hydrogen peroxide, a very harmful cell oxidant (catalase). A single catalase molecule can degrade millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules at a given time. Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is a natural waste formed when the body breaks down fatty acids and converts them into energy.

Activity of enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide Background information: Enzyme (catalase) is a biocatalyst. It can change the reaction rate without changing itself. Enzymes are also globular proteins with specific shapes in three dimensions; within pockets with active sites, they have the correct shape to connect to the correct substrate. - Influence of temperature on enzyme catalase activity Introduction: Hydrogenase is added to hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), which reacts vigorously and produces oxygen. This experiment examined the effect of temperature on the rate of action of the enzyme by measuring the amount of oxygen generated over a period of time. Experiment to record the result by changing the temperature
