1 Name What Affects Enzyme Activity? Lab Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that help to carry out the thousands of chemical reactions that occur in living cells. They are generally large proteins made up of several hundred amino acids. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the substance to be reacted, the substrate, binds to the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme then converts the substrate to products. Finally, the products are released into solution and the enzyme is ready to help with another reaction. As is true of any catalyst, the enzyme is not used up as it carries out the reaction but is recycled again and again. One enzyme molecule can carry out thousands of reaction cycles every minute! Each enzyme is specific for a certain reaction because its amino acid sequence is unique and causes it to have a unique three-dimensional structure. The "business" end of the enzyme molecule, the active site, also has a specific shape. Because the active site is so specific it will only bind with one kind of molecule. An enzyme can be denatured (unfolded) by extreme heat, ph, or ionic concentration. If this happens, the enzyme will no longer be functional because the shape of the active site will be destroyed. In this exercise you will study the enzyme catalase, which speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, (a common waste product of cellular metabolism) into water and oxygen. catalase 2H2O2 (l) ----> 2H2O (l) + O2 (g) It s important for cells to be able to break down hydrogen peroxide as soon as it s generated in the cell because hydrogen peroxide is quite toxic for cells. The products of the reaction, water and oxygen, are not toxic for the cell. So catalase helps to protect the cell from damage that could be caused by its own metabolic waste. Catalase is a very important enzyme! Because it s so important, catalase is found in many animal and plant tissues.
2 Objectives: 1. Determine whether potato plants and/or carrot plants contain the enzyme catalase. 2. Analyze the effect of high heat, low ph, and high ionic concentration (saltiness) on the function of the catalase enzyme. Pre Lab Questions: 1. What is the reactant (substrate) in the reaction above? 2. What is the product in the reaction above? 3. Would this reaction happen by itself without the help of catalase? Explain. Materials: For each group: Safety goggles Test tubes (4) Test tube brush (cleaning) Test tube rack Scoopula Beakers for puree (2) Glass Stirring Rod Station 1: Potato Puree Carrot Puree Scoops (2) Tape Sharpee Station 2: Hydrogen Peroxide 10 ml Graduated Cylinder Station 3: Boiling Water Bath (2) - Hot Plate (2) - Large Beaker (2) Test Tube Clamps Station 4: Hydrochloric Acid Solution Pipette Station 5: Salt Solution Pipette Part I: Organisms that have catalase In this section, you will determine whether or not two different organisms have catalase in their tissues. We will examine potato plants and carrot plants to see if they have catalase. If they do have catalase in the tissue, it would be located inside the cells. Procedure: 1. At your station, label one paper cup potato puree and another carrot puree. 2. Go to Station 1 and use a scoopula to obtain a scoop of potato puree (blended up potato) and a scoop of carrot puree (blended up carrot) and put them in their beakers. 3. Back at your station, use tape to label one test tube P for potato puree and another C for carrot puree. 4. Use a spatula to transfer a small scoop of each type of puree into the respective test tubes. Push the puree down to the bottom of the test tube using your glass stirring rod. 5. Use a graduated cylinder and funnel to measure out 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide. Pour the hydrogen peroxide into the potato puree test tube. 6. Record your observations on the data sheet provided. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 this time using carrot puree. 8. Clean test tubes before moving to the next section. (Clean up procedure at end of lab.)
3 Part II: The Effect of Extreme Heat, ph & Salt on Catalase Function In this section, you will use the potato puree to determine how heat, low ph, and high ionic concentration affect the activity of catalase. Heat Procedure: 1. Using same labeled test tubes, use your scoopula to take some of your potato puree and transfer it into the P test tube. Push it down to the bottom of the test tube. 2. Bring the P test tube over to the hot water bath and hold it in the hot water (with a test tube clamp) for 3 minutes. Your hand will get too hot if you keep holding it with one hand. Alternate hands!!! Allow to cool for 3 minutes before proceeding. 3. Back at your station, use a graduated cylinder and funnel to measure out 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide. Pour the hydrogen peroxide into the P test tube. 4. Record your observations on the data sheet provided. 5. Clean test tubes before moving to the next section. (Clean up procedure at end of lab.) ph Procedure 1. Using same labeled test tubes, use your scoopula to take some of your potato puree and transfer it into the P test tube. Push it down to the bottom of the test tube. 2. Use a dropper in the acid bottle to add 50 drops of acid to the P test tube. 3. Use your stirring rod to mix the puree in with the acid. Rinse the stirring rod in the sink. 4. Use a graduated cylinder and funnel to measure out 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide. Pour the hydrogen peroxide into the P test tube. 5. Record your observations on the data sheet provided. 6. Clean test tubes before moving to the next section. (Clean up procedure at end of lab.) High Ionic Concentration (High Salt) Procedure Using same labeled test tubes, use your scoopula to take some of your potato puree and transfer it into the P test tube. Push it down to the bottom of the test tube. 2. Use a dropper pipet to add 10 drops of salt solution to the P test tube. 3. Use your stirring rod to mix the puree in with the salt solution. Rinse the stirring rod in the sink. 4. Use a graduated cylinder and funnel to measure out 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide. Pour the hydrogen peroxide into the P test tube. 5. Record your observations on the data sheet provided. 6. Clean test tubes before moving to the next section. (Clean up procedure at end of lab.) CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS: ***You CANNOT remove your goggles until AFTER you have teacher clearance of clean up** 1. Make sure you have emptied the contents of your test tubes into the regular trash BEFORE you wash them in the sink. Otherwise, the sink will clog! 2. Remove the labels from your test tubes and throw in the regular trash. 3. Use soap and test tube brushes to clean the test tubes. Make sure to get all of the gunk out of them or teacher will not clear your station clean up! 4. Rinse the graduated cylinders with water. (No soap necessary) 5. Clean any spatulas and scoopulas on your bench with soap and water. 6. Wipe down your station with a damp paper towel. Don t leave any puddles of water on the station! 7. ORGANIZE all the supplies neatly on the bins. Remove your goggles.

6 Data Analysis and Conclusions: Questions: 1. What are you looking for in your observations when you are looking for evidence of a reaction? 2. Do the two plant tissues that we tested contain catalase? How do you know (i.e. explain how your data supports your answer to this question. 3. What effect did high temperature have on the catalase activity? Explain what happened to the catalase at the molecular level. 4. What effect did low ph have on the catalase activity?

Explain what happened to the catalase at the molecular level. 6. Part I of this lab did not have a control!! What could you have done as a control? 7. Why was it necessary to puree the plant tissue in order to test for catalase activity?
