Successful in Avoiding Dismissals Enzyme was introduced by Kiihne in 1878, even though the first observation of enzyme activity in a test tube was done by Payen and Persoz in 1833. Enzymes are specialized proteins that make cellular work possible in all cells by helping chemical reaction to occur. these chemical reaction speed up the …
Iron and its Importance to Nutrition and Health It may be taken for granted the impact that the food we eat has to our overall health. The body absorbs nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, from the food that is consumed and uses it in several functions. These vitamins and minerals play many vital roles …
Cloning and Expressing of Aryl Alcohol Oxidase Abstract: Cellulose fuel ethanol does great significance on solving the energy crisis and reducing environment pollution. However, in the process of industrially degrading cellulose into ethanol, it is difficult to directly degrade the cellulose because of the presence of the lignin barrier. While the aryl alcohol oxidase is …

ASSIGNMENT TOPIC – ELISA ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is the test has evolved from other types of immunoassays in the early 1970s and is now one of the most advanced widely clinical, translational, used laboratory technique in as well as clinical medicine. This assay is also used for detecting and quantifying substances such as peptides, …
Lactase Action on Milk Sugars The reaction of the enzyme, untreated lactase, and whole milk and the reaction of the untreated lactase and skim milk prove to have actually had the enzyme break down its substance. For the enzyme and sucrose reaction, the solution did not have a change in its acidity levels therefore showing …

Cholera is a devastating disease for millions worldwide, primarily in developing countries, and the dominant type of cholera today is naturally resistant to one type of antibiotic usually used as a treatment of last resort. Researchers at the University of Georgia have now shown that the enzyme that makes the El Tor family of V. …
TO TREAT DISORDER Enzymes play an important role to treat disorder. For example enzymes aid in breaking down the internal blood clots. Enzymes also used to dissolve the hardness walls of blood vessels. It may also improve the rate of recovering of the injured part by dissolving the wound swelling. Some disorders like low blood …
What is “browning” and how does it happen in fruits? Enzymic browning occurs in fruits and vegetables from bruising, peeling or cutting. The flesh that is exposed can turn yellowy-brown, all the way to black, this pigment change can occur quite fast and is unappealing to consumers. Browning of fruits occurs due to naturally occuring …
An enzyme is a globular protein that is a found in living organisms that acts as a biological catalyst, which speeds up reactions that occur in the body without being used up and using ATP. This means that an enzyme can be used over and over indefinitely (“Enzyme & Substrate | Bioninja”). Enzymes react with …
Enzymes as Catalysts: The Process of Catalase Decomposing Hydrogen Peroxide Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to learn the functions of enzymes, especially in chemical reactions, and to determine if, over time, enzymes activity changes in rate. More specifically, the lab was performed to learn the use of catalase in hydrogen peroxide to create …

Key characteristics that make Lactococcus lactis and Bacillus subtilis ideal microorganisms for the food industry are that are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), they have annotated genomes, they can be cultivated easily and various tools for their genetic manipulation are available. The last years these two bacteria have proven to be highly potent on secreting …
Enzymes are biological catalysts and activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants in order for the reaction to take place. Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions whilst remaining unchanged by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to go ahead. Enzymes are made up of proteins which are folded …
My roommate and I are both right because there are two ways in which a substrate binds on the active site of an enzyme. The model that I am talking about is called the lock and key model theory that states that an enzyme with an active site has a specific shape that can only …

To treat disorder Chemicals assume an imperative part to treat issue. For instance compounds help in separating the interior blood clusters. Catalysts likewise used to break down the hardness dividers of veins. It might likewise enhance the rate of recouping of the harmed part by dissolving the injury swelling. A few issue like low pulse, …
