An Investigation into the affect of the concentration of the enzyme Neutrase on a solution of Marvel (dried milk powder) Introduction Neutrase is an enzyme. Enzymes are biological catalysts which means they speed up the reaction rate of substrates by up to a million times. They are made of protein (chains of amino acids which are folded into complex shapes) and are sensitive to pH and temperature. Enzymes only work on substrates. Different enzymes break down different food and the enzyme neutrase breaks down marvel (dried milk powder). A main part of the enzyme is the active site. The active site is shaped to fit its substrate. The substrate fits into the active site like a key into a lock. pH affects the enzymes because each enzyme has an optimum temperature. The reaction would be slower is the pH was further than the optimum pH. Denaturing often occurs when the pH is too...
