Have a little read: ... Alison Miles Enzyme Action Aim My aim is to collect sensible results in an investigation to prove the optimum temperature for the enzyme amylase to break down starch. Background info An enzyme is a biological catalyst that breaks down large molecular structures so they can be absorbed easier. It is found in all living things and there are more than 700 known enzymes in existence. However when an enzyme reacts, it remains the same and can continue breaking down substrates, which is the reason why we do not have many. An enzyme is also designed not to break down living cells. This is incredibly important and to prevent them from doing this, the membrane of a living cell has high resistance. However when a cell dies, the membrane becomes permeable, therefore protein-consuming enzymes will break into the cell and digest the proteins inside. Every enzyme has specificity and can only break down particular molecular structures.
