Mr Rayon Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 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? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedNevermind...I guess it depends on the organism. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedActually...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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 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. For the rest: check this out: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cow+body+temperature 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
