This article shows how enzymatic activity can be effectively determined by means of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer. The preliminary measurements were carried out by utilizing the “single λ-continuous” ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Exposure of corn seedlings to different concentrations of the toxic heavy metal mercury(II) led to significantly altered activities of the ...

ATM stands for ataxia telangiectasia mutated, a gene that contains information for synthesizing a protein that controls the rate of cell growth. When the strands of DNA in a cell become damaged, the ...

The loss of catalytic activity (irreversible denaturation) of α -chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) as a function of pH between 6 and 13 is described. Around neutrality the irreversible denaturation is second ...

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The diagram below shows what happens to an enzyme when denaturation occurs. Each enzyme has an optimum pH but it also has a working range of pH ...

This causes the formation of more enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme-substrate ...
