Polyphenols are a group of natural compounds with phenolic structural features (C. Rice-Evans, Miller, & Paganga, 1997; C. A. Rice-Evans, Miller, & Paganga, 1996; Tripoli et al. , 2005; Tsao, 2010; Zheng & Wang, 2001) with two or more hydroxyl groups on the aromatic ring(s)...
Abstract An enzyme is a protein that serves as a biological catalyst during a chemical reaction (Gonzalez, 2018). A catalyst is any substance that increases the derivative of an established chemical reaction forming, this is done by lowering the activation energy of the reaction level....
Glucose-6-Phosphate Appears to be a Competitive Inhibitor of the Bovine Intestine Enzyme Alkaline Phosphatase Abstract This study focuses on the effects of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) on the kinetics of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase. Because G6P is a common molecule and has a phosphoester bond, it may...
Purpose / Personal Engagement Substrate concentration is an important factor which affects the activity of enzymes. I became interested in the effect of substrate concentration on enzymes during our classroom examinations of heat and pH on enzyme activity. Substrate concentration was one of factors that...
Introduction Enzyme’s are a extremely important part of chemical reactions not only within us, but all biological creatures. Enzyme’s are used to facilitate and accelerate the chemical reactions that are necessary for not only for us humans to survive, but other creatures like animals and...

Introduction Enzymes work as catalysts, which are substances that speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are proteins and their shape determines the specificity of the enzyme, as well as plays an important part in its catalytic activity. (Catalase Lab, May 1, 2011). This means that there...
Enzymes are biocatalysts which consists of proteins and a long chain of amino acids. They are used to speed up chemical reactions and help break down or combine larger molecules without having to go through any change themselves. ("What Are Enzymes? | BIO-CAT"). Enzymes can...
The LDH enzyme is used by the body to catalyze the change of lactate into pyruvate as it changes NAD+ to NADH. LDH is a very significant enzyme for energy production in the cells. In this experiment the LDH from a deer heart was purified...
A strategy for disease prevention and the spread of resistant strains is targeting different parts of the bacteria. For example, targeting the membrane of mycobacterium can be a chemotherapy intervention and a good way to slow down the progression of genetic resistance and kill drug-resistant...
