Abstract: |
Contains two exercises. In the first, the student becomes familiar with the methods of extracting enzymes from plant tissues and measuring their activity. Emphasis is placed on ways of ensuring the structural stability of sensitive protein molecules in solution. Finally, the kinetic constants and regulatory properties of the enzymes are determined by varying the concentrations of substrates, inhibitors and promoters of activity. The second exercise introduces the student to the concept of ‘Reactive Oxygen Species’, their role in metabolism and their neutralisation by natural antioxidants such as betalains from beetroot.
