Essays on Enzyme

Enzymes are protein substances that play a very important role in various biochemical processes in the body. “Enzymes are present in all living cells and promote the conversion of some substances into others. The enzymes act as catalysts in virtually all biochemical reactions taking place...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Enzymes are biological molecules that are responsible for several metabolic processes that break down certain chemicals in the body. They help to convert the reactant into the product by speeding up the reaction. After the breakdown of food, the enzymes in the body will convert...

Acrylamide (AA) has a toxic effect on both animals and human. The present study investigated the potential protective effect of silymarin (SIL), as an antioxidant against the toxicity of the AA in cardiac tissue. Rats were divided into four groups as follows: The control, AA,...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key-signaling messenger in plants, being involved in a wide variety of physiological processes, ranging from normal plant growth and developmental processes to responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. The biological effect of NO is mainly achieved through a direct interaction...

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...

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...

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...

Since day one man has tried to mimic and understand everything that nature does, from fire electricity and even production of diamonds and so far, scientists have been rather successful, many physical and chemical processes can be replicated in vitro by scientists however the biological...

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...

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...

Peroxidases are oxidoreductases created by a number of plants and microorganisms. Lessening of Peroxidases in the nearness of electron giving substrate makes Peroxidases valuable in numerous business applications. Peroxidase catalysts, for example, manganese and lignin peroxidase both related with lignin corruption, which is effectively utilized...
