Summary Introduction

To propose: A model on the basis of graph to explain the molecular event occurring at each stage of the reaction profile.

Concept introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that enhance the rate of a reaction. The enzyme assay is a technique performed in laboratories to determine the concentration and activity of an enzyme. It is a very useful technique as it can provide information about the interaction of the enzyme with the substrate, drugs, inhibitors, and others.

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • DRAW IT A researcher has developedan assay to measure the activity of an important enzymepresent in pancreatic cells growing in culture. She adds theenzyme’s substrate to a dish of cells and then measures theappearance of reaction products. The results are graphed as theamount of product on the y-axis versus time on the x-axis. Theresearcher notes four sections of the graph. For a short periodof time, no products appear (section A). Then (section B) thereaction rate is quite high (the slope of the line is steep). Next,the reaction gradually slows down (section C). Finally, thegraph line becomes flat (section D). Draw and label the graph,and propose a model to explain the molecular events occurringat each stage of this reaction profile.
ENZYME CATALYSIS lab Construct a hypothesis addressing the effect concentration will have on rate of reaction.   What chemical reaction is being catalyzed in the experiment? Label the substrate(s), enzyme and product(s).
