Overall, the research question was answered and the hypothesis was correct. Protein 4DIU has been identified as belonging to the esterase family and has hydrolytic activity. It appears that the optimal pH for this enzyme is 6 and it is active with p-nitrophenyl acetate. These results are fairly accurate and precise as two trials were run at a pH of 6 and the same trend was seen. In future experiments it would be beneficial to test the activity at lower pHs such as 3, 4, and 5. Additionally, | Overall, the research question was answered and the hypothesis was correct. Protein 4DIU has been identified as belonging to the esterase family and has hydrolytic activity. It appears that the optimal pH for this enzyme is 6 and it is active with p-nitrophenyl acetate. These results are fairly accurate and precise as two trials were run at a pH of 6 and the same trend was seen. Again, from this data, it is believed that protein 4DIU would be active in these parts of the body. In future experiments, it would be beneficial to test the activity at lower pHs such as 3, 4, and 5. Additionally, testing some of the substrates that were modeled to work to see if the bioinformatic data is trustworthy. | ||
