Planning an Investigation - TRYPSIN Aim- to investigate factors which affects the trypsin in different temperatures. Key factors- Factors that affect the activity of enzymes is the temperature. If you increase the temperature you will increase the random movements of the molecules and increase the chances of substrate and enzyme colliding. If the temperature is raised too much the enzymes will be destroyed. The pH level also affects enzymes. Certain enzymes work better in different levels of pH. For example the digestive enzymes in the stomach work best in acidic conditions. While those in the small intestines work best in alkaline conditions. I will investigate how the temperature affects the trypsin. I will see how long it takes to break down the protein on a photographic film. The protein is called gelatin. I will measure its affect on the rate of reaction it takes to for trypsin to break down the gelatin in...
