Although the original function of HbHNL is to produce HCN from acetone cyanohydrins for plant defense purpose, its reversible reaction to produce enantiopure cyanohydrins makes it an industrial relevant enzyme (Fig. 1.6a). Besides acetone, it is also able to take a bigger substrate such as benzaldehyde and turn it into mandelonitrile with optical purity up to 99%.15 HbHNL is known to turn different aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes and methyl ketones into different cyanohydrins.15 Cyanohydrins are

The results show that while increasing the number of remanufacturing batches, a mixed strategy is more economical than a pure (production or remanufacturing) strategy. The results also show that while increasing production associated costs pure production (remanufactured) is more expensive than a mixed strategy. El Saadany et al. (2013) mentioned that a pure remanufacturing strategy is not possible and it is very difficult to recover a product indefinitely. In that sense, the model of this paper

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.

While researching the greatest chemists that have ever lived, I could not help but notice one who was missing from the list. Boyle, Mendeleev, and Lavoisier were on everyone’s list; and rightfully so, but I believe that people overlook the outstanding work of Henry Louis Le Chatelier. Le Chatelier studied chemistry extensively in school and made great discoveries as a teacher of the science at colleges in France. He is most known for the principle named after him: Le Chatelier’s Principle, which

that are rare, intermittent and deliberate. As per Weick and Quinn (1999), pictures of associations that are better with rambling change incorporate those constructed around the thought of Punctuated Equilibria. The focal dispute of the punctuated equilibrium model is that change includes moving over and over again between long stretches of dependability and short blast of radical (far-reaching) change. The punctuated balance model is in the forefront of educational theory it is out of sight of the knowledge

Enzymes the Speed of Reaction Abstract This experiment tested the effects of pH on enzyme activity and how the concentration of enzyme affects the rate of reaction. Enzymes, biological catalysts, are sensitive to changes that can affect the rate of the chemical reaction. The specific enzyme used in this lab was Catecholase, an enzyme found in the cells of many fruits and vegetables. In the first exercise, the greatest amount of product was produced at a pH of 6, which was the most effective pH on

Abstract: For this experiment we are looking to determine the equilibrium constant KC for this reaction, KC = [FeSCN2+]/([Fe3+]•[SCN-]. Using a spectrophotometer, we are going to determine the absorbance of FeSCN2+ with different concentration measurements. Introduction: Chemical equilibrium can be determined using different methods. Chemical equilibrium exists when the rate of both sides are equal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the amounts of products and reactants are constant, but if one

effect of pH on catechol oxidase: pH along with temperature and concentration is a limiting factor of enzyme activity. Enzymes, which are proteins, have a distinct pH range in which they work most effectively. Beyond or below this specific pH, enzyme activity begins to diminish and eventually the enzyme is rendered useless. The optimum pH of an enzyme is the pH at which it is most effective and causes the fastest rate of reaction(source). This decrease in enzyme activity beyond the optimum pH is

This paper further examines The Prisoner’s Dilemma. The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a situation where two prisoners are placed into isolation cells and they can choose to either stay silent or confess. This game of probability that has taken many forms, but the concept is always the same. There are two people who have been arrested and can choose to either remain silent or confess. I first become interested in the prisoner’s dilemma while reading The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart.
