Biology Coursework To Investigate the Course of an Enzyme controlled Reaction Introduction For this investigation, I am going to investigate the effects of varying the concentration of an enzyme (diastase). I am going to react the enzyme, diastase, with a starch solution at different concentrations and record all of my results. I believe that as the concentration decreases then the rate of reaction will decrease and as the concentration increases the rate of reaction will increase also. However, if the enzyme concentration continues to increase, then it becomes saturated and the reaction remains at the saturation level. This occurs, because all of the substrate molecules have active sites to bind to, and therefore increasing enzyme concentration further will have no effect. From these results I will initially be able to see if the enzyme concentration has any effect upon the rate of reaction. I will then, observe my results more specifically and in...
