Chemistry Coursework The effect of substrate concentration on the rate of decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide when catalysed by the enzyme Catalase. Plan In this experiment I have to investigate experimentally, the effect that substrate concentration has on the overall rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide when catalysed by the enzyme Catalase. First I need to understand the hypothesis before starting the experiment. We have looked at the function of enzymes, the way they carry out reactions and also the effects of conditions on their reactions. Also the lock and key hypothesis, and the more recent induced fit model, enzyme- substrate complexes, and activation energies with and without enzymes, specificity and also the cause of denaturation of the enzyme. In organisms, such as ourselves, Hydrogen Peroxide is a by product of our metabolism. The oxidations of certain cells in our body produce this toxic chemical. The chemical itself is pretty stable, and can last for prolonged...
