The Catalase Lab

Problem- How do different environments affect the reactivity of catalase?

Hypothesis- If more catalase is added then more oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a faster rate because there is more catalase to react upon. If less catalase is added then less oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a slower rate because there is less catalase to react upon.

Variable- Independent- Amount of Catalase (Filter Paper) Dependent- Amount of Oxygen (kPa) Constant- Temperature in Fahrenheit, 2 Pipette of Hydrogen Peroxide,
0.8 Cm Filter Paper Punches
Materials:
* 6 Test Tubes * Vernier Gas Pressure * Sensor * Catalase * Filter Paper Punches * Beaker * Control Group * Test Subject * Safety Goggles * Dropper Pipette * Go Link

Procedure-

1. Gather Your Materials Figure 2 2. Put on your goggles 3. Login into your computer Figure 1 4. Open up Logger Pro 5. Follow directions on the Vernier Direction sheet 6. Plug in the Go Link onto the USB drive of the computer (See Figure 1) 7. Plug in the Vernier Gas Pressure Sensor onto the Go Link (See Figure 2) 8. Grab 2 Test Tubes and follow Steps 1-6 on the regular procedure on Enzymes in Action sheet (See Figure 3 & 4) 9. Record your Data after 1 Minute and 30 Seconds 10. Grab 2 Test Tubes and follow Steps 1-6 on the regular procedure on Enzymes in Action sheet EXCEPT using 5 Filter Paper Punches (See Figure 3 & 4) 11. Record your Data after 1 Minute and 30 Seconds 12. Grab 2 Test Tubes and follow Steps 1-6 on the regular procedure on Enzymes in Action sheet EXCEPT using 1 Filter Paper Punch (See Figure 3 & 4) 13. Record your Data after 1 Minute and 30 Seconds 14. Clean up your work station 15. Before pouring the Hydrogen Peroxide down the sink, get the filter paper out first 16. After washing the test

    Purpose/Problem: There are four parts to the Enzyme Catalyst lab - Activity A, B, C, and D. In activity A, the characteristics of enzyme actions will be observed. The main purposes are to determine the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction, to study the characteristics of an enzyme mediated reaction, and to observe the effect of heat on enzyme activity. The purpose of activity B is to use the Titration Protocol to determine the initial amount of H2O2 present in a solution. The amount will be the baseline for activities C and D. The purpose of activity C is to determine the rate at which H2O2 spontaneously decomposes when exposed to room temperatures and ambient light for 24 hours. The purpose of activity D is to determine the rate at which catalase decomposes H2O2. After adding H2SO4 for different time lashes, etc., the resulting data will be graphed at which the catalase decomposed by catalase.…

    Like the previous experiments, the ultimate goal of this lab was to purify the enzyme sample. However, this is the last lab for purification and high level techniques of purification were employed to achieve this. Dialysis was used first, lowering the small-molecule concentration within the sample. Finally Affinity Chromatography on a Cibacron blue Sepharose stationary phase. Using BSA, which is analogous for BCA assays, a standardization was created to understand where the protein concentration was for each fraction.…

    1. Fill in the following tables with your observations. Note if the test is positive or negative for the enzyme. Also note the appearance of the colonies and/or media. This will include: the color of the medium immediately surrounding the colonies after addition of iodine on PDA plate, whether bubbles were observed or not in the catalase test, the color of the urea slant, the color of the citrate slant, and whether the rabbit plasma remained liquid or became solid due to clot formation, etc. After each observation note which results indicate production of the given enzymes and which results indicate non-production of the given enzyme by placing a “+” or “-“in the appropriate squares.…

    1) The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate of enzyme activity under variety of different conditions, such as, different amount of drops of enzymes and different temperature of water. The class measured the pressure in the test tube during the reaction of the substance with, 1.5 ml of H2O2, 1.5ml of H2O and different amounts of enzyme drops, to determine how much oxygen gas is produced during the reaction since the pressure of the test tube will get higher as more oxygen gas is accumulated during the reaction.…
