Abstract:
This investigation presents what would occur to the reaction rate of an enzyme if the temperature, pH level, concentration of a substrate and enzyme were changed. In this experiment, the enzyme catecholase, commonly found in plants, was tested and its product formation, benzoquinone was measured. When the concentration of the reactants such as the enzyme catecholase, and the substrate catechol were tested, the results of product formation increased greatly because the higher concentrations
