This enzyme lab one of my favorite labs we did it was very hands on and also working with our partners was also very fun. In the pictures above you can see just a few ways we used our hands as enzymes and demonstrated different ways an enzyme can become denatured as well as the effects that it has on their abilities to lock in. In the first photo the “enzyme” had no restrictions and was free the lock in however it wants, that is when there was the highest amount of toothpicks picked up. In the next photo you can see there was a rubber glove and many elastic bands wrapped around our hand which acted as denaturing characteristics and in this test there were no toothpicks picked up. For the last one we did temperature denaturing which was more than the rubber bands but still less than having no inhibitor. Overall, this was a very fun and easy way for me to understand how the denaturation of enzymes effects their ability to work and do their job.
