Edvotek™ Advanced Placement Laboratory Kit 2: Principles of Enzyme Catalysis

Includes

• Catalase solution
• 1.2% Hydrogen peroxide (stabilized)
• Phosphate buffer, pH 7.2 (20x concentrate)
• Assay reagent (potassium iodide concentrate)
• Acidification solution, 0.1M HCl
• Color enhancer (concentrate)
• Color developer (concentrate)
• Plastic tube, 15mL
• Comprehensive instructions, background material, and study questions

Understand enzyme catalysis and protein structure-function relationships.

Methodology uses a colorimetric assay to measure the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (and therefore catalase activity) based on the oxidation of iodide by peroxide. This method differs from the AP Biology lab manual; it uses a safer system that eliminates the need for sulfuric acid.

• Perform an enzyme assay
• Determine the rate of a biochemical reaction
