Josef Nankivell 10L7 An Investigation into the Optimum Temperature Amylase Will Work At. Plan Aim: The aim of these series of experiments is to find out the optimum temperature at which the Enzyme, Amylase, will work most efficiently. Prediction: I predict that the optimum temperature that the amylase will work most efficiently at will be around 40°C. I think that this will be the optimum temperature because this is the optimum temperature that human amylase works at. I realise that my prediction could be wrong, as this may not be human amylase. Optimum After 40°c I predict that the reaction time will begin to gradually become slower until the amylase stops working altogether. I think this because after a certain temperature all enzymes begin to change shape, making them irreparable, no matter what the temperature is changed to after that. Prediction Cont' The Lock and key Method: Enzymes are shaped a certain way. Each type of enzyme...
