Toothpicks Controlled Enzyme

178 Words1 Pages
There were five different types of enzymes that were used to break down the toothpicks. There was the control, the normal enzyme, the enzyme working in decreased temperature, the enzyme with a competitive inhibitor, and the denatured enzyme. The decrease in temperature was simulated by putting your hands in water for a minute before breaking the toothpicks. The competitive inhibitor was simulated by having two different types of toothpicks and only being able to break one. The denatured enzyme was simulated by having to rubber bands around your fingers. The control enzyme was able to break the most toothpicks out of everybody and at a faster rate. This shows how efficient a normal enzyme is at starting chemical reactions. The competitive inhibitor
