2022 ScienceFest: Enzyme Catalysis Demos Lab members: Demos: Catalase- and yeast-catalyzed elephant's toothpaste, bromelain- or pineapple-catalyzed gelatin degradation. In both cases, we looked at relative rates of reactions using purified enzyme and enzyme from a natural source. We also developed a simple paper/paper clip model for protein folding for participants to take home. This material…
