Philip Harris Effect of Temperature on Enzymes Kit

HE1890244

1

Description
Specifications
  • In general the rate of a chemical reaction increases with rising temperature
  • This also holds true when the reaction is catalysed by an enzyme ‐ up to a point
  • The fact that enzymes are complicated proteins and tend to become unstable under certain conditions, complicates the matter
  • This Effect of Temperature on Enzymes Kit investigates these phenomena using the enzymes Amylase and Invertase
  • Suitable for advanced or tertiary level students
  • Experiments include:Heat denaturation of Invertase
  • Heat denaturation of Amylase
  • Effect of incubation temperature on the activity of AmylaseThe kit contains:Potassium Sodium Tartarate
  • Sucrose
  • Sodium Hydroxide
  • Buffer pH7
  • Buffer pH6.5
  • Invertase 'Bioinvert'
