EXPERIMENT 5 DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT ABOUT THE BEST CONDITIONS FOR AMYLASE ACTIVITY 2012-09
Aims • You should get the thread how to design a project about experiment research by the design of experiment and should be able to put it in practice. • You would get deeper insight into some methods of enzyme kinetic research, for example, how does the change of pH affect the reactions catalyzed by enzyme
Project ( in your free time before the experiment ) • Review the contents about the main factors influencing the reactions catalyzed by enzyme. • Consult the research state related to amylase at present, including the functions, secretion, activity determination of amylase and its relationship with some clinic illnesses. You can use the library or/and internet.
Preparation • Two students as a group, to discuss the project of experiment design about amylase. • You have to decide the concentration of the enzyme or substrate as well as reaction time about the experiment. • You should find the best pH buffer for the activity of saliva amylase by putting your experiment project in practice.
Human salivary amylase: calciumion visible in pale khaki, chloride ion in green.
How to do • Prepare for some experiment conditions, such as reagents, instruments, spectrophotometer 721. • Write down the steps how to get the saliva amylase, which diluted multiple of saliva amylase should be used. • Hand in your project to your demonstrator before the experiment. Get some advise about the procedures from your demonstrator.
Protocol ( two students as a group ) • Read your project carefully again in order to understand clearly the significance and the aims of the experiment design. • Get saliva amylase by yourself and carefully considered dilute it. • Make up the diverse pH for the experiment.
Protocol • Measure the activity of saliva amylase in different pH solution. Draw the graph according to the experiment data in order to find the best pH for the saliva amylase. • Amend the experiment conditions such as amylase concentration, substrate concentration and their amount in the reaction until getting appropriate data to determine the best pH of amylase.
A660 pH
Discussion • Which pH buffer is the best for the activity of saliva amylase? Why? • Discuss the outcome of the experiment each other, write down a short summary about the experiment design.
