The Determination of Optimal Temperature, pH, and the Reaction Rate for Alpha-Amylase.
ABSTRACT
The enzyme alpha-amylase is a catalyst to break up starch to from glucose. Without being consumed in the reaction, enzymes are catalysts that speed up the rate of the reaction. They achieve this by combining with a substrate and then separating from it form products. Environment factors that affect enzyme reactions include temperature and pH. The optimal temperature and pH at which the reaction will occur coincides with the point where the rate of …
