BIOLOGY 1AL Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Unimodality, Amylopectin, Amylose
Document Summary
End carbon molecule is not linked to another glucose molecule this is the glucose that we are monitoring. These end glucose molecules can isomerase can isomerize into an aldehyde and can isomerize back or it can form a beta-isomer. The aldehyde can reduce dns, and dns changes color to brown. The number of end glucose molecules is reflective of how brown the reaction is. Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions. Increasing temperature of reaction, distribution of molecules and their energy distribution is going to increase and then there"s more molecules that are going to have this activation energy. Time on x-axis and absorbance at 510 on y-axis. Initially a linear reaction; middle section is curved and lower rate; last part is flat. Absorbance at 510 on y-axis and enzyme concentration graph linear relationship. Human alpha-amylase enzymatic molecule in saliva. Took spit spun it in centrifuge did a series of dilutions 1:10 dilutions.
