An Investigation into the Effects of Temperature on Enzyme Reactions Objective- To find the effect temperature has on the reaction between Trypsin and Albumin. Introduction An Enzyme is a specialised organic substance, composed of polymers of amino acids that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of many different chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms. There are more than 700 different enzymes. They can be classified into several categories, such as hydrolytic, oxidising, and reducing, depending on the type of reaction they control or influence. Hydrolytic enzymes use water molecules in the break down of substances into smaller substances. Oxidising enzymes, known as oxidises, accelerate oxidation reactions; reducing enzymes speed up reduction reactions, in which oxygen is removed. Many other enzymes catalyse other types of reactions. The Lock and Key Theory: In their structure, one or more polypeptide chains change, bringing together small numbers of amino acids to form the active site- the...
