Biology Coursework The relationship between rate of reaction & concentration of enzyme Atholl Tweedie Plan "The fastest known enzyme is catalase. Found in the liver where it speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, catalase has a turnover number [the number of substrate molecules which one molecule of enzyme turns into products per minute] of 6 million. Its action can be demonstrated by dropping a small piece of liver into...hydrogen peroxide: the fizzing that ensues as oxygen is given off is a dramatic demonstration of an enzyme in action." -M.B.V. Roberts, from "Biology A Functional Approach" Aims I intend to investigate the reaction of the enzyme catalase with the metabolic poison hydrogen peroxide, and a factor affecting the rate of the reaction. There are 6 variables that may affect the rate of the reaction. They are: 1. concentration of enzyme 2. concentration of hydrogen peroxide 3. temperature conditions of reaction...
