The factors that affect enzyme catalysis (that is, enzyme activity) will definitely affect the rate of enzymatic reactions, but the factors that affect the rate of enzymatic reactions do not ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

Note: this practical uses the temperature of 35°C. This is close to body temperature. Warmer temperatures may denature the enzymes and the reaction will take longer at lower temperatures.

Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...

BACKGROUND: Thermophilic enzymes are often less active than their mesophilic homologues at low temperatures. One hypothesis to explain this observation is that the extra stabilizing interactions ...

This investigation tests how well the enzyme amylase performs at different pH values. Amylase is a carbohydrase enzyme made by the pancreas and by glands in and around the mouth and throat. It helps ...

The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came ...
