In this experiment we will be looking at the effects of pH on the enzyme Amylase
Which pH does Amylase work best at?
Place tube 6 and tube A into the bath for 2 minutes, while they are warming, place 1 drop of iodine into each well of the spotting tile - DON'T WRITE ON THE SPOTTING TILE.
Step 03
Using a measuring cylinder, add 5ml of starch solution to each of the tubes 6, 7, 8 and 9.Using a pipette, place 2ml of amylase into tube A
Step 02
Label 5 boiling tubes 6, 7, 8, 9 and AIdentify all equipment to be used, and ensure your workspace is tidy, set-up and organised!
Step 01
METHOD
Start the stop watch and empty the remainder of the pipette solution back into tube 6. After 30 seconds extract some more solution and put one drop in the next spotting well, empty the rest back into tube 6. Repeat until the iodine no longer chnages colour
Step 06
Add the 5ml of pH Buffer to the pH 6 tube containing the starch solution.Add the amylase solution and immediately extract a drop using a clean pipette and place a drop into the FIRST spot of the spotting tile.
Step 05
In a clean measuring cylinder, measure out 5ml of the required pH buffer. Remove the 2 tubes from the water bath. Get ready with the stopwatch!
Step 04
METHOD
- Split into Pairs or Three's
- Double-check you have everything you need - including paper, pen/pencil, ruler, goggles and gloves
- Wear goggles as some buffers are harmful
- Avoid getting enzymes or iodine on skin or clothes as they can cause irritation and/or staining - wash off with water in case of contact
GET EVERYTHING READY
SET UP
Clean up - your equipment, your workspace and wash your hands!
Step 09
Record your results in the relevant tables.Then draw a graph for the results of table 2 - with pH on the x-axis and time on the y-axis
Step 08
Repeat with the other pH buffers, 7 and 8, and if possible 9
Step 07
Method
What?
What caused the results observed?
Consider
What?
What does "denaturing" mean?
What does this mean for enzymes in the body e.g. the stomach?
What effect do the other pH buffers have?
Which pH produced the fastest reaction?
Why?
Which pH?
Repeat the experiment with the other tubes!
Repeat every 30s until no colour change occurs Note the time at which this happens
Immediately extract a small amount of the mixture and Drop it into the first well
Prepare 5ml of the required pH buffer And add to the starch solution And then add the amylase.
Put 1 drop of iodine into Each well of the spotting tile
Add 2ml of amylase to Tube labelled A
Place both tubes into a water bath for 2 minutes
Add 2ml of amylase to tube labelled A
Add 5ml of starch solution to each tube labelled 6,7,8 & 9
Label your boiling tubes
