In this experiment, Enzyme Catalysis you should understand the map of an enzyme. An enzyme is proteins produced by populating cells ; they act as accelerators in biochemical reactions. An enzymes ( E ) activity will be greater working at a lower temperature. When an enzyme is at work it binds with a substrate ( S ) , as a consequence of this adhering the energy formed is the merchandise ( P ) .The site at where this all happens is name the active site.
E+S>ES>E+P
Many molecules other than a substrate may interact with an enzyme. If the molecule increases the rate of the reaction it is an activator, and if it decreases the rate it is an inhibitor. The enzyme used in this lab is Catalasis. Catalasis will assist with the decomposition of H peroxide ( H2O2 ) .
2 H2O2>2 H2O2 + O2 ( gas )
In this experiment the disappearing of the substrate H2O2 by a mixture of catalase, H2O2, sulphuric acid ( H2SO4 ) , and K permanganate ( KMnO4 ) .
5 H2O2 + 2 KMnO2 +3 H2SO4> K2SO4 + 2 MnSO4 + 8 H2 + 5O2

Experiments 1
Put 10 milliliter of 1.5 % H2O2 into a clean 15mL cup
Add 1 milliliter of H2O
Add 10 milliliter of H2SO4
Mix good
Remove a 5 milliliter sample and topographic point in another 15 milliliter cup. Topographic point it over a white piece of paper. Us the syringe to add KMnO2 a bead at a clip to the solution until a relentless pink or brown colour is shown. Mix as u add each bead. Record your readings in Table 1.1

Experiment 2
To find the self-generated transition of H2O2 to H20 and O2 in an uncatalyized reaction, put a little measure of 1.5 % H2O2 ( about 15ml ) into a cup. Store it exposed at room temperature for 24 hr. Repeat stairss 2-5 from experiment 1 to find the sum of H2O2 staying. Record in Table 2.1.

Experiment 3
To find the class of an enzymatic reaction, you will necessitate to mensurate how much substrate is vanishing over clip. You will mensurate the sum of substrate decomposed after 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 360 seconds.
Put 10 milliliter of 1.5 % H2O2 in a clean cup

Discussion
Table 3 showed how much the reaction changed in the class of an enzyme reaction. The Activation energy did take topographic point, which is besides called free energy of activation ) , the sum of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will get down. The longer the solution had to sit the longer the reaction took, but it reached a point where it dropped off. For experiment 2 it showed no affair how long it sat you would still stop up with the same consequences, because H peroxide will work merely every bit good no affair how old it is, because no visible radiation or other substance will make it.
