BIO Lab Final - Lab 5

ALP

catalyzes the hydrolysis of a phosphate group attached to proteins and lipids in vivo

Optima pH

neutral; 7.0

Where is ALP found?

the liver

What happens if either the enzyme or substrate is limited?

the enzyme's reaction rate will remain constant

Enzymes P3

these assays are used to diagnose a wide variety of diseases (viable for the practice of medicine)

Enzyme

-catalytic proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions (every chemical reaction inside the cell is catalyzed by this)

How to control enzymatic activity?

-the actual properties of the enzyme -the kinetics of the enzyme -the type of enzyme

Optima temp.

23C; 20-40C

What enzyme was used?

Alkaline Phosphate (ALP)

T/F: A denatured enzyme can catalyze a chemical reaction?

false

T/F: Enzyme activity typically occurs within a very broad pH range?

false

Enzymes P2

help digest the food we eat (w/out these, we would go w/out nutrients)

Optima concentration

highest concentration

What substrate was used?

pNPP

T/F: When an enzyme's reaction rate doubles for every 10 degree Celsius increase in temperature it's called the Q10 effect?

true
