THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE RATE OF REACTION BETWEEN THE ENZYME SOLUTION AND THE SUBSTRATE. AIM The main aim of this experiment is to investigate how varying the concentration of an enzyme will affect the activity of the enzyme trypsin in milk. Equation Enzyme + Substrate Product (s) + Enzyme. Background Knowledge. Enzymes are biological catalysts; therefore they speed up the rate of reaction in cells. Enzymes have a tremendous effect on biochemical reactions, and these reactions would take place at a very slow rate if it weren't for these enzymes. Basically an enzyme is a catalyst that speeds up reactions faster tan they would normally be at. Enzymes are proteins and are made up of a long chain of Amino Acids.
