Basic background information

• • Basic protein structure

• • The concept of induced fit

• • The role of enzymes

• • That structure, function, and environment are all required for maximal function of enzymatic reactions

2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 (gas)

• Peroxidase is an enzyme that breaks down peroxides, such as hydrogen peroxide, and is produced by most cells in their peroxisomes. Peroxide is a toxic byproduct of aerobic metabolism. Various factors — abiotic and biotic — could have a major influence on the efficiency of this reaction.

Prepare

• Read your lab hand out and prepare for the lab by making notes about the procedure in your lab notebook.

• Remember to number the pages and always date the pages when entries are made.

• Think about how you will get things done in the short amount of time we have!!!

Page 6: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

safety• Safety for this lab:• You will wear goggles, aprons and tie long

hair back.• Remove lose jewelry.• Make sure clothing is not going to get in the

way. • We will be using acids and bases, guaiacol,

which is poisonous if swallowed and it is flammable.

• Know the location of the eye wash, fire blanket and safety shower.

Page 7: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

• Never mix syringes or mouth pipette. Pour small quantities of the substances into cups or beakers that are labeled to pipette or use to extract from using the syringe.

• Clean all counter tops with Clorox wipes following the lab.

• Wash your hands following the lab.

Page 8: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

Label carefully

• Gather all materials

• Plan your procedure and know what you are doing before you start. Do a mock run…

• There is timing involved, so be prepared to start the timer as soon as you mix the materials.

• Make data charts ahead of time so you have a place to put your results.

So, what is this lab about?

• Turnip peroxidase is the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Page 10: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

guaiacol

• We can “see” the reaction because we are adding guaiacol, an indicator of oxygen due to a color change that occurs in its presence. The more oxygen the deeper the brown the color becomes. The compound guaiacol has a high affinity for oxygen, and in solution,it binds instantly with oxygen to form tetraguaiacol, which is brownish in color. The greater the amount of oxygen produced, the darker brown the solution will become.

Page 11: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

• We can qualitatively or quantitatively measure the color change after allowing the reaction to occur.

• A color palette is prepared by placing different amounts of enzyme and substrate mixture with distilled water so that the final percent of the solutions varies by 10% in each of the 11 test tubes prepared.

• This will provide a way to view the different colors that can be seen for the different amounts of oxygen released at maximum production. It will be used for comparison for the other reactions.

Page 12: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

• Baseline is a universal term for most chemical reactions. In this investigation, the term

is used to establish a standard for a reaction. Thus, when manipulating components of a reaction (in this case, substrate or enzyme) you have a reference point to help understand what occurred in the reaction. The baseline may vary with different scenarios pertinent to the design of the experiment, such as altering the environment in

which the reaction occurs. In this scenario, different conditions can be compared, and the effects of changing an environmental variable (e.g., pH) can be determined.

Color palette

• Rate can have more than one applicable definition because this lab has two major options of approach, i.e., using a color palette and/or a spectrophotometer to measure percent of light absorbance. When using a color palette to compare the change in a reaction, you can infer increase, decrease, or no change in the rate; this inference is usually called the relative rate of the reaction.

• When using a spectrophotometer (or other measuring devices) to measure the actual percent change in light absorbance, the rate is usually referred to as absolute rate of the reaction. In this case, a specific amount of time can be measured, such as 0.083 absorbance/minute.

Page 15: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

• The tubes can be placed in a spectrophotometer and the absorbance measured at a wavelength of 436 nm or they can be used qualitatively to match colors with the tubes from the next part of the lab. The tubes contain a 10% increase of enzyme substrate mixture as they increase:

• Tube 0 0% oxygen, Tube 1 10%, 2 20%, etc.

If a spectrophotometer• is available, the following information is useful.• The use of measuring devices can better quantify your

results. Using a spectrophotometer, you can select a specific wavelength to fit the color/pigment expected in an experiment. The change in the amount or concentration of color/pigment may be measured as absorbance (amount of the wavelength trapped by the pigment) or transmittance (amount of the wavelength that is not trapped by the pigment).

• For Procedure 1:• 1. Turn on your spectrophotometer approximately 10 to 15

minutes prior to starting the investigation so that it will warm up appropriately.

• 2. To measure the amount of the compound tetraguaiacol, set the wavelength to 470 nm. Or 436? Lab book

Page 28: Enzyme Activity Lab 13 AP Biology (Peroxidase + Hydrogen Peroxide Complex Peroxidase + Water + Oxygen) 2H 2 O 2 2H 2 O + O 2 (gas)

• 3. Set your machine at zero absorbance using a blank containing all the appropriate materials except the substrate (i.e., 13.3 mL of distilled water, 0.2 mL of guaiacol, and

• 1.5 mL of enzyme extract = 15 mL total).
