What Conditions are Most Favourable for Enzyme Function
Types of Conditions
Substrate Concentration
pH
Temperature
Enzyme Concentration
Types of Enzymes Used in
Laundry Detergent
Lipases
Works against fats, oils and lipids (for example french fry grease, butter and makeup)
Amylases
Works against starch (for example potatoes and oatmeal
Proteases
works agaisnt proteins (for example blood, egg, gravy, sweat, chocolate and grass stains)
Pectinases
Works against pectin (for example berries, jellies and jam)
What is function?
Definition: an activity that is natural to or the purpose of a person or thing.
what is the function of an enzyme?
Enzymes help speed up the metabolic rate of reaction in our bodies
Lowers activation energy
build and break substances when needed to.
What does favourable mean?
Defintion of favourable: to the advantage of someone or something
What is favourable for enzyme?
temperature
the optimum temperature for most enzymes is 37 degrees celcius
pH
pepsin: for pepsin the optimum pH level is around 2.0
amylase: for amylase (malt) the optimum pH level is 7.0
lipase: for lipase, the optimum pH level is 7.0
pectinase: for pectinase the optimum pH level is 4.0
substrate concentration
the optimum substrate concentration varies on the enzyme
Types of Laundry Detergents
Soap
