Document Summary

See the effect that enzyme concentration has on reaction time and the effect that substrate concentration has on enzyme reaction. Enzymes combine with a substrate to form a substrate-enzyme complex, which then breaks down into the enzyme again (which is unaltered!) and the product: substrate + enzyme -> substrate-enzyme complex -> product + enzyme. Here are some factors which affect the rate at which the enzyme converts the substrate into the product: temperature, ph, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, product concentration, energy of activation. As for the direction of the reaction, all enzyme-mediated reactions are theoretically reversible, but the direction which the reaction actually goes in depends on the conditions under which the reaction is taking place. Salivary amylase is a digestive enzyme found in saliva. It acts on starch molecules by breaking off maltose molecules from the end of the starch chain.
