What can contamination of reagents leads to? Unreliable results Reliable results Reproducible results Good results Catalase is the enzyme found in potatoes and It decomposes hydrogen peroxide (H202) to form water and oxygen gas. H202 + catalase - ----> H2O + 02 +E. The reaction is maintained at temperature 40 degree Celsius and there was a formation of bubbles. Based on the enzymatic reaction given, What do you think is the substance responsible for the formation of bubbles? Oxygen gas Hydrogen gas no reaction, because the enzyme catalase will be deactivated no reaction, because the enzyme catalase will be denatured Other: Based on the Fehling's test video, do you think the sugars ribose (in RNA) and the deoxyribose (in DNA) will both form a positive result (red precipitate) No Yes
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
