This lab is designed to walk you through the process of analyzing the characteristics of an enzyme that is designed to become a part of a process for producing biofuels. Since you cannot actually do the lab, the data that you would have generated is included in the Skill Check worksheet. In order to complete the lab, you will need to:
Read all of the prelab and Lab instructions so that you understand how the data was generated and what each Activity of the lab is trying to accomplish.
The Skill Check Worksheet has the data for each of the different activities. Activity 1 will examine the rate of reaction with and without enzyme. You will need to produce a graph that will have two lines; one for the reaction with enzyme, and one without enzyme. You will be able to determine the quantity of p-nitrophenol produced based on the information that is in the lab and the data that is present in the skill check worksheet.
For each additional activity you will need to produce a graph in Excel or a similar program. These are simple bar graphs that will allow you to visualize what is happening with each of these reactions so that you will be able to discuss the results.
Complete all of the questions on the Skill Check worksheet.
Ideally you should compile all of the graphs onto one document that will be uploaded along with the skill check worksheet. You can cut and past the graphs from Excel into a word document, or you can produce all three graphs in one Excel document
