I will be doing an experiment on enzymes tomorrow. It will involve catalase and a liver which will be grind.

 

Anyone ever done a similar experiment?

Nevermind...I guess it depends on the organism.

Actually...does anyone know what the optimum temperature of catalase in either cow, pig or sheep? If the liver were to be removed from the animal would the enzyme still work best at a certain and particular temperature, as though the animal were alive? If so, what are these? Does anyone know? And...yes I know it's getting a little technical.Well any ideas will be appreciated!

My guess is that indeed, the enzyme will work best at the body temperature of the animal (37-40 deg C). Please note that often the pH is very important as well.

And no, this is not too technical for us. You're on a science forum for crying out loud. If you can go technical anywhere, it's here.
