Andrea Kelly 11Si2 Experiment to find the rate of enzyme activity at various temperatures. Aim My aim is to find the rate of enzyme activity at various temperatures. I will find this by using photographic film. The photographic film is coated in a thin layer of silver salts that are stuck to the film by protein glue, which can be digested by protease. I will heat the protease up to different temperatures from room temperature to 70?c/80?c and see how long it takes for the protein glue to be digested at various temperatures. Enzymes Enzymes are all proteins, they speed up chemical reactions. They do this by colliding with the substrates, and the active site of the enzyme will grab hold of it and they will fit together. Eg In this experiment we will be altering the temperature. This effects the rate of digestion because as the temperature increases the enzyme is gaining more and more kinetic...
