Internal Assessment – Investigating the Relationship between Concentration of Sodium Chloride and the Rate of Reaction of Enzyme Amylase
Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase, measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer.
Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva, amylase breaks down starch into sugar so that large molecules can be easily digested1. Like all enzymes, amylase must be kept in a certain condition in order to function properly. In this experiment, the effect of sodium chloride concentration on the rate of reaction of amylase will be investigated with the use of starch and iodine. When starch is mixed with iodine, the coils of beta amylose molecules found in starch trap iodine, causing the mixture to turn into a shade of blue-black. 2 When starch is broken down into glucose, however, the monosaccharide does not react with iodine. Therefore, glucose does not change color even when it’s mixed with iodine. Correspondingly, when drops of amylase are inputted into a blueblack mixture of starch and iodine, the starch molecules will be broken down into glucose molecules, causing the mixture to turn colorless. Thus, the rate of reaction of amylase correlates to the absolute value of the rate of change in absorbance of the solution. A rapid decrease in the absorbance of the blue-black color equates to a high rate of reaction of amylase, whereas a slow decrease in absorbance signifies a low rate of reaction. In this experiment, an external variable of sodium chloride will be manipulated into the amylase enzyme to determine the effect the concentration of sodium chloride on the rate of reaction of amylase.

Hypothesis: As aforementioned, amylase, like all enzymes, must be kept under a certain set of conditions in order to function properly. Factors such as pH level, temperature, and salt concentration could all denature the enzyme and decrease its activity. . When a substrate can no longer bind to the active site of an enzyme due to its conformational change, the enzyme activity and the rate of reaction of the enzyme drops significantly. For instance, a high concentration of sodium chloride would alter the electrostatic interactions between charged amino acids, causing conformational change in the enzyme and destroying its active site.3 Furthermore, the presence of sodium chloride will only have little impact on the enzyme structure unless the sodium chloride concentration is very high, when it could completely denature the enzyme. Therefore, an enzyme should experience an exponential decrease in its rate of reaction as the concentration of sodium chloride is increased Rate of Reaction of Amylase, Abss-1 Concentration of Sodium Chloride, %
Figure 1: Prediction of the Effect of Sodium Chloride Concentration on Rate of Reaction of Amylase Enzyme
Thus, the hypothesis for this experiment is that if the sodium chloride concentration is increased, then the rate of reaction of amylase will decrease. A high concentration of sodium chloride will denature the enzyme amylase and, as a result, it will no longer be able to break down starch into glucose. The figure above demonstrates that the average rate of change in absorbance will undergo an exponential decrease as the concentration of sodium chloride is increased.

This will be measured with a spectrophotometer and Logger Pro. Because amylase breaks down starch into glucose, and glucose does not react with iodine, the enzyme activity of amylase will lower the blue-black absorbance of starch+iodine. Therefore, the rate of decrease in absorbance over time correlates to the absolute value of the rate of reaction of amylase. The change in absorbance will be measured from 0-20 seconds, and the rate of reaction can be calculated by finding the slope of the absorbance vs. time graph. The uncertainty can be considered negligible.

The beaker is stirred several times using a plastic stirrer until a homogenous solution is made, creating a 20% sodium chloride solution. 6. 5 cm3 of the obtained solution is transferred into another small beaker using a 10 cm3 pipette, and another 5 cm3 of distilled water is added into the beaker. The beaker is then stirred using a stirrer until a homogenous solution is made, creating a 10% sodium chloride solution. 7. The serial dilution of sodium chloride is continued, according to the layout in figure 2, to obtain 5%, 1%, and 0.1% concentrations of sodium chloride solutions.
Conducting the experiment 8. The Vernier spectrophotometer is calibrated using distilled water. Then, the wavelength at which to measure the absorbance is determined using the maximum wavelength of the blueblack mixture of starch and iodine. 9. 450μl of 20% sodium chloride solution is put inside a micro tube using a 1000μl micropipette. 50μl of amylase solution is added into the micro tube using a 50μl micropipette. The micro tube is then placed inside a microcentrifuge so that the solution will mix together. 10. Step 9 is repeated three times for all concentrations of sodium chloride, creating three mixtures of sodium chloride and amylase for each of the five variables. 11. 2.5cm3 of the starch & iodine mixture is put into a 3cm3 cuvette using a micropipette. 500μl of the sodium chloride & amylase mixture is added into the cuvette using a micropipette. 12. The solution is squeezed in and out three times using the micropipette to ensure that amylase spreads throughout the starch solution. After mixing three times, the “start” button on Logger Pro is clicked. Steps 11 and 12 are performed with the cuvette placed inside the spectrophotometer to minimize error. 13. The rate of change in absorbance of the mixture is measured using Logger Pro for 20 seconds. 14. Steps 11-13 are repeated for triplicate trials for all five concentrations of sodium chloride.

Conclusions: The hypothesis was supported by the results to the extent that an increase in sodium chloride concentration decreased the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase. However, the decrease in the rate of reaction was not exponential; rather, the relationship between NaCl concentration and average rate of reaction was pretty linear. As sodium chloride concentration increased, the average rate of reaction decreased at a fairly constant rate. Furthermore, once extrapolated, the graph in figure 5 demonstrates that the rate of reaction will be 0 when the sodium chloride concentration is at 60%. From this data, one could conclude that the enzyme amylase will completely cease to catalyze reactions at NaCl concentration of 60%.
Average Rate of Reaction / Î&#x201D;Abss-1
In the hypothesis, it was stated that a slight presence of sodium chloride will not affect the rate of reaction of amylase significantly, but as the concentration of sodium chloride increases, the enzyme will undergo a rapid decrease in its rate of reaction. This is due to the fact that, as more sodium chloride ions are present in amylase, the ions associate with oppositely charged groups in the enzyme protein, increasing protein hydration and denaturing the enzyme.11 Contrary to the hypothesis, where the rate of reaction was predicted to undergo a slight decrease up until a certain concentration of sodium chloride, then a rapid decrease as the concentration is at a level high enough to denature the enzyme, the graph below displays the fact that even 0.1% of sodium chloride was enough to largely decrease the rate of reaction of amylase. Although the 0.1% sodium chloride did not completely denature amylase, it was still enough to cause the greatest decrease in the rate of reaction of amylase.

Evaluation: Overall, the results of this experiment seem fairly accurate and reliable. There are no striking outliers – except for the one value shown in table 2 – and although the standard deviations are bit sizeable for some values, they are not critical enough to negate the conclusions drawn. As the model in figure 5 represents, the relationship between sodium chloride concentration and the rate of reaction of amylase is clearly a negative correlation. On a separate note, while it is true that the best-fit line in figure 5 is a linear one, the best-fit line for the graph in figure 6 would more likely be an exponential one. Going back to one of the conclusions drawn, the relationship shown in figure 6 represents an exponential decrease because of the fact that the control is also included in the graph. The jump from 0% sodium chloride to 0.1% sodium chloride is largely significant – more significant than any of the other increases in sodium chloride concentration. Thus, such results encourage the next experiment to, perhaps, incorporate an even smaller concentration of sodium chloride. The results of this experiment support the idea that a miniscule NaCl concentration such as 0.1% was still significant enough to disrupt the electrostatic bonds within the enzyme. In order to observe the effect of NaCl concentration on the activity of enzyme more efficiently, it would be apt to utilize even more miniscule concentrations of sodium chloride. The sizeable nature of the standard deviation could be caused by the discrepancy created by human error. Although a standard was set at the beginning of the experiment, to mix the amylase and starch in the cuvette – in & out using the micropipette three times – then pressing “start” on Logger Pro, this process posed the biggest error throughout the experiment. The time taken between the moment when enzyme amylase was put into the cuvette – thus starting to interact and break down starch – and the moment when the “start” button was clicked varied, though only by little, for every trial. Furthermore, mixing the solutions in the cuvette three times – and taking up time in the process – may have been a bad idea, for that time could have been sufficient for the enzyme to do all of its work. Moreover, another problem during the procedures could have occurred with the mixing of amylase with sodium chloride. Because 15 separate micro tubes had to be filled one by one, and then mixed through the microcentrifuge one by one, some of the amylase solutions in the micro tubes had longer time to interact with sodium chloride. This could have meant longer time for the sodium chloride to denature the enzyme, thus lowering its rate of reaction. Though it’s not certain, this could have been another source of error in the experiment. Overall, however, this investigation was successful in terms of the accuracy of its results. The increased presence of sodium chloride did lower the enzyme activity of amylase, as predicted in the hypothesis, and as accepted as a scientific fact. Although improving on minor errors could strengthen the investigation, the experiment successfully produced consistent and reliable data, leading up to a solid conclusion.

Improving the Investigation: Error
Impact
Improvement
Time discrepancy between the moment amylase is inserted into the cuvette and Logger Pro reading is started
It could have allowed more time for amylase to break down starch in some trials than in others, causing differences in rate of reaction from trial to trail and increasing standard deviation
There are a few ways to improve this error. One way would be to get a help of another person, allowing him to press the “start” button on Logger Pro as soon as the amylase is mixed three times. Another method would be to simply take out the mixing process, and start the Logger Pro reading as soon as amylase is inserted into the cuvette.
Time discrepancy in the amount of time sodium chloride was allowed to interact with amylase between each trial
It allowed more time for the sodium chloride in some micro tubes to denature amylase than in other micro tubes, allowing the possibility for further decrease in the enzyme activity for amylase used in some trials compared to other trials.
All 15 micro tubes could be incubated for an allotted amount of time – around 30-40 minutes – to equalize the amount of time that sodium chloride is allowed to interact with amylase.
450μl of sodium chloride solution was inputted into the micro tube, while only 50μl of amylase solution was inputted, causing imbalance
As mentioned in the conclusion, the results demonstrate a huge decrease from no sodium chloride to 0.1% sodium chloride. This suggests that too much sodium chloride was incorporated throughout the experiment, compared to the amount of amylase. The abundance of sodium chloride could have disrupted the enzyme activity of amylase too much.
The amount of sodium chloride solution and the amount of amylase solution could be balanced, to about 250μl each used for every trial. This change could perhaps produce results that are closer to those that were hypothesized.
10 cm3 pipette used during serial dilution of sodium chloride
Decreased precision & increased range of uncertainty
Since only about 1.5ml of each sodium chloride concentration was necessary for the experiment, a micropipette could have been used to perform the serial dilution, which would have lowered the range of uncertainty.
