Preparation of Buffers for Use in Enzyme Studies (by G. Gomori) The buffers described in this section are suitable for use either in enzymatic or histochemical studies. The accuracy of the tables is within ± 0.05 pH at 23 ºC. In most cases the pH values will not be off by more than ± 0.02 pH even at 37 ºC and at molarities slightly different from those given (usually 0.05 M). The methods of preparation described are not necessarily identical with those of the original authors. The titration curves

was to determine how a buffer works and how to use an acid-base indicator. The way a buffer works was determined by observing the changes in pH of solutions of different concentrations weak acids and their conjugate bases to determine how a buffer affects the pH change. The solution of 10 mL of 0.20 M CH3COOH and 10 mL of 0.20 M CH3COONa had slighter changes in pH than the solution of 10 mL of 0.0020 M CH3COOH and 10 mL of 0.0020 M CH3COONa. Both of these solutions were buffers, shown because they had

Buffers are solutions that resist change in pH when small amounts of strong acids or bases are added to it. Adding a strong acid to a solution would decrease its pH as seen in fig 2 and adding weak base would increase its pH as seen in fig. 3. One good use of buffers in a biology field is that buffers control the pH in order for the cells to live in a livable environment. If the cell is too basic it releases H+ ions into the cells and if its too acidic the buffer releases OH-. Therefore, buffers

discover the activity of the enzyme catecholase in different pH levels as well as its absorbance in differently concentrated solutions. A spetrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the enzyme catecholase in different pH solutions as well as to measure the absorbance of catecholase in solutions with different concentrations of potato juice and phosphate buffers. Absorbance of the enzyme catecholase was at an optimum level when pH was close to neutral. When pH was acidic or basic, the

Title: “The Effect of Substrate Concentration, Enzyme Concentration, pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity” Abstract: In the following experiments we will measure precise amounts of potato extract as well as Phenylthiourea, combined with or without deionized water and in some instances change the temperature and observe and record the reaction. We will also investigate the different levels of prepared pH on varying samples of the potato extract and the Phenylthiourea and record the results.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION For this experiment, titrations on a weak acid, acetic acid, and a buffer were performed. Acetic acid was titrated with NaOH in order to observe the half-equivalence point as well as the equivalence point. Then, the buffer and the buffered acetic acid solution prepared faced additional titration with NaOH and HCl to evaluate the differing buffering effects following the addition of a strong acid and strong base. Finally, the buffer’s buffering capacity was calculated. If the

However, the applications of Si/SiO2 based biochemical sensors are limited since these devices, when in aqueous solutions, suffer from various difficulties such as chemical instability and degradation of gate dielectrics. Na+ or K+ ions from physiological buffer can diffuse into SiO2 and contribute to mobile charges. These mobile ions can be driven by the applied electrical field, causing a variable drift in the transistor threshold voltage
