An investigation to show the effect of changing the concentration of an enzyme on the rate of reaction of an enzyme controlled reaction Factors :- Factors which effect enzyme controlled reactions are: * Temperature (body temperature is 37oC) * Concentration of Pasteurised Milk * Concentration of Rennin * .pH level Each of the above factors can effect the reaction in much the same way; they prevent the enzyme acting in optimum conditions. As the temperature alters the Hydrogen bonds which hold the active site in it's formation weaken and even break; this prevents the enzyme properly fitting the milk particles and so can't carry out the tasks it usually performs. The concentration of the milk effects the reaction by reducing the number of collisions with the rennin particles by increasing the collisions with water particles. Similarly, when the concentration of the rennin alters the same effect occurs. The enzymes in the human body are designed to work in...
