INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESES Introduction I have decided to investigate the effect of altering the concentration of an inhibitor, on an enzyme catalysed reaction. I will be investigating this with the reaction aided by the enzyme acid phosphatase, in which phenolphthalein and phosphates are released. The inhibitor being used will be sodium dihydrogen phosphate. Pilot studies lead to this idea as they were successful and the most interesting theory was provided using this variable. Pilot Study Summary I carried out a pilot study which involved demonstrating the effect of an inhibitor on the reaction involving the breakdown...
