Activity of the Enzyme Catalase with Hydrogen Peroxide Background Information: An enzyme (Catalase) is a biological catalyst. It can modify the rate of reaction without being changed itself. Enzymes are also globular proteins that have a three-dimensional specific shape; among with a pocket known as the active site, this has a precise shape to link with the exact substrate. Every enzyme are capable of converting one kind of substrate molecule into one kind of product molecule, which forms the enzyme-substrate complex. There are the minority factors that affect the rate of reaction that include: 1. Temperature: If the temperature was to increase so would the rate of reaction up to a decisive point, as the enzyme will start to denature; this usually occurs at temperatures around 50 to 60 Celsius. The rate of reaction increases because enzymes and substrate have more energy permitting them to move around more rapidly, resulting with more collisions and...
