Essays on Enzyme

Enzymes, commonly known as proteins, are biological catalytic molecules that effect the rate at which chemical reactions take place within the cells of an organism. Generally speaking, these biological molecules are key players in the vitality, digestion and metabolism of all living organisms. The rate…

The damaging potency of hydrocarbons on natural and cultivated crops is voraciously documented. This research investigated the noxiousness of hydrocarbons on aerobic and anaerobic enzymes in cowpea and maize seedlings. Viable seeds of these food crops were planted in soil treated with different concentrations of…

With more than 50% of detergents composed of enzymes, it brings up the question, what impacts do they have compared to traditional detergents containing acids? To start off with, starch (C6H10O5)n is a white, organic chemical which is made from lots of glucose molecules bonded…

Introduction: A group of students on the date 9/11/18 were selected to perform various experiments to in order to find the effects of thickeners on vinegar, how ascorbic acid differs in a variety of different orange juice products, and how cheese is created through the…

The ELISA or Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays method is a type of biochemistry assay which bases its principle on enzyme immunoassay or EIA. ELISA immunoassay utilizes enzymes that have an accompanying antibody or antigen, that can be used as a marker for detection. In general, the…

HOST: DRUG METABOLIZING ENZYME Human xenobiotic metabolism generally converts non polar compounds into hydrophilic, high molecular weight compounds so that they can be more readily excreted. The process occurs in hepatic circulation as follows: In phase I, enzymes such as Cytochrome P450 oxidases, introduce a…
